Lexen Xtreme Training Tips

Most of the Saturday guys are 1 week out from the Lexen Pro-Am, so today their work consisted of working up to around 60-70% free squat, some light accessory work, and calling it a day.  Vogelpohl worked up to 700, really working on his form.

The guys not doing the meet did the following today:

Squat
Chewy, Schwab, Johnston, Brown
Box squats with chains and foam cushion, using buffalo bar
Warm-ups
Bar + 170 in chains x 10
Bar + 250 in chains x 5
145 + 250 in chains x 3
235 + 250 in chains x 3
325 + 250 in chains x 3
Add briefs
415 + 250 in chains for 2 sets of 2
505 + 250 in chains for 3 sets of 2
595 + 250 in chains (Schwab for a single, Johnston and Brown doubled)
645 + 250 in chains for 2 (Johnston and Brown)

The chains and foam cushion really made things unstable coming off the box, so we really had to maintain tightness to get up with the weight.

Speed pulls
245 x 3
335 x 3
425 for 3 sets of 3

Finished up with 3 sets of reverse hypers, some shrugs, and ab work.
