Post Nationals Training

The first week of training after Nationals was light and easy. Squats of 405lbs, Bench Press of 335lbs, and Deadlifts of 455lbs. Nothing regimented. I have been tossing some ideas around and decided to do some body building style training. Still heavy singles with the big three but lots of support work. Yesterday I did Deadlifts and I really enjoyed it.

Warm Up
Leg Swings and Stretching.
Squats - 135lbs/10 reps.
Deadlifts - 135lbs/12 reps.

Working Sets
Deadlifts - 315lbs/6 reps, 405lbs/6 reps, 495lbs/3 reps, 565lbs/1 rep.
Back Extensions - 3 sets/12 reps/BW.
Lat Pull Downs - 3 sets/12 reps/160lbs.
Machine Shrugs - 3 sets/12 reps/160lbs.

My back felt great and still feels pretty good today. The support work really did the trick. Now to come up with Squat and Bench Press work outs.
