New squat cycle

I just started a meet prep wave thanks to the suggestions of Spud and Dale of South Carolina Barbell.
It is a 6 week high volume squat cycle from Verkoshansky and I just finished week 1. It is brutal.
I set very conservative maxes on the back squat and box squat because I'm a huge pussy and don't want to re-rear the bicep.
Week 1 looked like this:
Day 1:
Squat:
205x10
250x8
295x6x 4 sets
and a little assistance
Day 2:
Break in new Jack Bench shirt.
used a 3 board for doubles
then chest supported rows.

Day 3:
Box squat
225x10
275x8
325x5
375x5
400x5x4 sets
375x5
325x8
250x8

Tons of stretching and then next week it gets worse.

Tomorrow, me and my boy are going to see the Stanley Cup at American Nutrition Center in Everett with the legend  Gerry Cheevers.

Benching

So today I started benching again for the first real workout since I tore the bicep.
The plan was to see where I am at before I start eh SST squat cycle.
I did a ton of warmup work and then put on my Inzer Phenom shirt.
Nothing crazy. Some board work and then I tried to touch some weight.
This didn't work out so good because I am not strong enough for the shirt now, but will be in a few weeks.
I then had to start to break in on my new Metal Jack Bench Shirt .

 

All I can say about this shirt is HOLY SHIT!

It is like wearing armor and I need to get an assload stronger.

A huge thanks to Matt G and Dave Tate of elitefts.com for hooking me up with it.

I will try and make them proud with it.
