A Little Inspiration To Get Your Week Started Right

 

Squat Deloading

5 Reps 40% WM
5 Reps 50% WM
5 Reps 60% WM

Working Max (WM)= 90% 1RM

Then
For Time:
30 Bodyweight Back Squats (no more than 60% WM)
Run 1 Mile

Mike D. has been killing it lately. His strength numbers are jumping up on what seems to be a exponential scale and he recently took his “Baseline” from 21:29 to 7:09. Mike used to be a football player and is starting to find his old strength after a little break from fitness. It is inspiring to see this kind of progress in such a short time.

  4. “deload” is, I think, one of the saddest words in the English language :(
    What’s the reasoning behind it?

  8. 1) Good work Mike. That is awesome.
    2) Elizabeth, there is clearly something wrong with you. But in a good way.
    3) What does it say that all of us are up this early are looking at an exercise website. Nerds.
