Posted last Sunday on Ed's log so thought should start my own.Only want to post my Sunday squat workout up to the contest.
Mid afternoon
211 lbs
1/2 suit/belt
bar x 8 [3sets]
135 x 5
185 x 5
suit/belt
225 x 5
315 x 5
365 x 3[Bruce's idea not to make such a big jump to working sets.]

Next week go to 425 for 5 sets.Last workout before contest will go to 2 sets of 2 with wraps.

Kelly the older fellow at the gym who Olympic lifts mentioned this a while ago so have seen it.Take a look when he squats they have a marking on the floor I guess for were the foot spacing should be.
It will be interesting if the fellow actually steps on the platform at the next Olympics.Very very strong for a fellow who weighs 286 lbs and is 19 years old.In most cases they end up going to college and become shot putters instead.

Sunday at 8:30 am
Weight 211
1/2 suit/belt
Bar x 8 [4 sets just getting bar lower on shoulders each set.]
135 x 5
185 x 5
suit/belt
225 x 5
315 x 5
385 x 3
405 x 2
435 x 1 [didn't try 2nd rep]
435 x 2 [3 sets]
Worked out in empty gym,just couldn't get into it on the first set at 435.
Only 4 working sets for next 2 weeks and then wraps on for the next 2 weeks 3 sets of 2.Starting to run out of steam as taking quite a bit to get psyched up for the working sets.Even harder to do in an empty gym.

Harv, I moved your training log to this forum as it is more appropriate for the log. I'm glad to see things are going well.

Squats are looking impressive there Harv.
Great video Ed: Young athletes with that kind of talent and drive often get poached by the pros and colleges (there's more money in football and track). Potential olympians only have a narrow window of opportunity (Masters start at 35 in that sport).

445 with no knee wraps is impressive Harv. I never squatted that heavy with out wraps,your one strong man.

185 x 5
suit/belt
225 x 5
315 x 5
wraps/suit/belt
405 x 2
Done till contest.May squat without wraps as not sure if they are worth the aggravation of putting them on.Have tried to start squatting at about the same time as I would in the contest.Because I do a lot of training in the evening I actually train mornings just to get used to lifting in the morning as at most contests I end up lifting usually in the morning
Been fun doing these posts but am done for now.This will be the first contest were have done only doubles in training and no singles.Will see how it works.
