Squat training at MBB with the team today. We had a big group, that was fun. Went to the gym with my knee pain that i have it's been a month now....knee issue from work i think. It did'nt work out well today...

Form work

So i will do lighter workout with the squat for the next 2 weeks working on form and try to give my knees a rest. If it's too hard maybe i will just expect lower weight on the squat for the pro-am but still a pr....or do a bench only. Time will tell.

Joffrey SDP shirt on

455 x LOL

Ok, shirt was good fit but i just can't bench in that kind of shirt. Went 1 inch or 2 down and it was stuck and the collar started to stretch... Too bad. Did not wanted to rip a 330$ shirt that wasn't mine... It means one week without any shirt benching. Will bench in my rage x next week...the shirt is at MBB.

Joffrey Laurin will bring me a bunch of shirt this week-end to try...hopefully i will find something that i could bench well in. There's still my old denim shirt with a bunch of patch or my old rage x that could rip anytime...but i don't trust them.

Decided to try some deadlift...even if i have some upper back pain. It felt pretty good after all.

Standing leg curl

That was it for today's training. Feeling strong...really strong, but tommorow will be shirted bench so wanted to save some.

Had to reorganize this week because of work...I'm not use to train on monday.

Form was bad so did so work with less weight

595 x 3

505 x 1

Did some foot positioning work and had the good setup with the 505. Doing the raw box squat on wednesday is messing with my stance and form so i will stop doing it and be back to deadlift again. And it will give me more energy for the sunday squat. Squatting once a week is enough.

Today, Mike Guay did 1145 and it look easy. It was amazing and he said he had room for more. It was 1-2 inch high but he will get there. I honestly think that Mike could post a huge total at pro-am and be the next big thing in Canada's multi-ply...
