Buffalo Bar Max Effort

Buffalo Bar Squats (Max Effort)
Blue Bands = 75kg Tension. Pretty good day today. Good warm up and had a good mindset. 290kg (215 on the bar) was good and strong and fast. Went for 307.5kg on the second for a PB within this exercise. Slowed down a bit in the centre of the rep but got it out pretty good. Went for it on the last with 312.5kg. Good rep down and 1/2 way up but just could not outrun the bands and with the lack of speed work just could not get it done. Do know what I have to do now. Overall a good day today with Buffalo Bar Squats. Will be back to them in a dew weeks time however this time with 30kg of chain.

Zercher Squats
Good reps just couldn't ge my feet where I wanted them. Good depth and plenty of speed out of the bottom. Could feel my erectors and butt working by the end of these.

T/bar Rows
Good solid reps tonight and the weight was right up there. Could feel my back working hard. About time, had good control of the whole rep.

Dumbbell Rows
Tough work with the 70kg weights but got the work done. Back was feeling real good by now. First time I have been over 60kg in years and it felt good. Slowly getting stronger on these. Again good control of all the reps.

Reverse Hyper
Glad I have put these back in over this cycle as a few little niggles I was having seem to have gone away. Getting the full benefit out of them. Good control of the reps.

Warrior Twist
Slowly getting better at these as I am remembering to twist right around with my obliques and as the weight goes up it is a lot tougher to stop the rotation of the bar. Happy with how these have gone over the last few weeks.
