27 Dec 2014 - Trap-MASS Day 9

27 Dec
0850 hrs
After the way my day ended yesterday with my hip I was very happy to have slept through the night (mostly, except to pee) and not be limping. I also figured out last night that doing lying Hip Extensions seems to help alleviate my IT Band pain. every little bit helps.


Banded Side Steps 3 x 17 x Black EFS Mini Band
I figured something odd out with these today. If i concentrated on tightening or flex my low back right at my tail bone /lower spinal erectors/  Upper Glutes I felt these activate my glutes a lot faster and my Left IT band feels like it falls right out of the movement.


Snatch Grip RDL
1 x 20 x Bar
1 x 11 x 95
1 x 11 x 115
1 x 5 x 140
1 x 5 x 150
1 x 5 x 170
1 x 5 x 195

Low Back felt much improved today. These are in a solid ROM for me and force me to work. The weight on the low back and Hamstrings is lighter but the upper back and grip are challenged more. So build one weakness while keeping things in a safer weight range for other stuff that has been struggling as of late.

SSB Box Squat (2" High w/ a foam sink of 1")
1 x 10 x Bar
1 x 10 x 140
1 x 10 x 175
1 x 10 x 210
1 x 10 x 230
Shrugs
11 Sets equaling 202 reps with 225 lbs.
GHR 3 x 13
Upon completing the last set of RDL's I started in on the Shrugs. Doing as many reps as I could every set. Once I hit 102 reps I started using straps so as to not completely fry my grip (I am doing pull Ups tomorrow) and carry on doing another 100 reps completed between sets of Squats and then GHR. The Squats are merely for volume and not meant to tire me out but get some more Bar on my back time.

Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
