WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY TRAINING, AND SWINGING THOSE HIPS

So Wednesday I did my military press day.  Except I decide to do behind the neck press.  These were awesome, but once I got up to 195, I had a hard time bringing the bar back down on my traps.  I didn't want to smash the top of my spine.  They are a little tough, but hopefully I can find a video to explain (this guy is soo much stronger than me..I need to learn how to clean correctly):



Also, someone took the freakin' chin/dip belt!!! Someone always hides this at our gym, so I draped the rusty chains across my shoulders...no clue how much they weighed.  Two sets were really heavy, one set was okay.
Anyway, here's what I did Wednesday:
Behind the Neck (BTN) Press: 135x4, 155x3, 175x3, 185x1, 195x1, 195x1
Chin (palms away): BW + 2 rusty sets of chains x 4, +1 rusty set of chains x4 x5 sets
Kroc Row (1-arm Dumbbell Row, leaning on bench): 150x15
Hammer Curl: 80x5, x6, x6
Plank w/ 45 pound plate: 30 seconds, 35, 30
Tricep Pushdown (for fun!): 150x10, 170x10, 200x10 x3 sets (entire stack of weight...ugh I need my own gym)

Here's Friday's training:
BTN Press: 45x8, 95x8, 115x8, 135x5, 155x5
Squat: 135x8, 185x6, 225x5, 275x4, 325x1, 225x4 (need to work on using my hamstrings more, that was the point of this)
Barbell Hip Thrust: 245x6, 335x6, 385x5, x5, x5
The hip thrusts were super fast, and I hope that these continue to increase and eventually surpass my deadlift.  Tomorrow is squat day with a crew of lifters. Get it on!
