Decided, what the hell ... I had another nice workout tonight, so I'd like to get some thoughts. Specifically ... box squats and romanian deads: Good shit to build up my squat and deadlift?
Preachers.
warmups: 45, 65, 75
working: 110 for 9, then 2.
Wrist curls, behind back.

Box squats.
warmups: 135, 155, 165
working: 185 for 10, then 5.
Damn. These hurt me sooooo bad. I'm definitely going to try to incorporate them every few workouts. My quads were on fire. My hips are feeling nice too right now. Hopefully these will help me build up some strength for my squat and deadlift. Oh, haha, you should have seen my box set up. All I have in my gym is a plastic milk crate-looking thing, and the bottom is cracked in like 9 places. So, I fit a 45 lb. dumbbell inside it with a 10 lb plate on top of that, so I could sit on the crate and not fall through it. I'm a genius!! On my last set, I put a rubber mat (like a square one, used for deads) on top of that, for even more stability. I rule!
Romanian deadlifts.
135 for 5
185 for 5
225 for 5
225 for 5.
First time doing these. Felt a nice stretch in my hams. No lower back pain or anything either.
Seated calf raises.
3 sets to failure, increasing weight. Huge stretching.
Ab work.
Great workout tonight, I say.
