First serious squat session in 6 months and I put up 400 x 5 no problem. Now I can feel my lower back pump coming on so foam rolling is the cure for that. I'm not going to rush this I just like to see where I'm at with strength loss.
I'm also on a keto diet and this was done about 4 hours after my refeed. At first I was tired, but I started to get pumped up when the weight felt light. I did wrap my knees (not tight) to help prevent soreness more than to get weight out of it. I find it hard to walk daily with my knee not getting sore, but squatting is OK

Rack Pulls - Just below knees.
Worked up to 485 x5
Lower back has a big pump right now so more foam rolling and some good stretching. I do not want to make this worst after all the rehabbing I've been doing to bring it back to some what normal.
Wide Grip pull ups
3x10
Curls and Shrugs http://www.silverbackpl.com/members/...ult/smiley.gif
Abs - Need to really get my core stronger or my back will get worst.
Cardio is being done every day for one hour - A nice walk outside .

Squat Day
Managed to get my squat back over 500 :) with a 505 ( on a keto diet)- Belt and knee wraps . Wraps were not super tight as I am doing it more for knee protection than to get more pounds on this.
Video to come for a depth check - Looked good to me, but other eyes are welcome.

Thanks, boys. This time next year I should be ready to do another meet and hopefully bang out 550 on the platform.
Bench tonight.
NOthing to brag about, nursing the shoulder so some light sets, medium rep , just getting the blood flowing and worked on some assessory work.

Thanks
Going to try Smolov . As long as my back stays healthy I should do ok. If it gives me any grief at all I will stop. Since I'm not competing until next year I don't want to push it , but if I can stay healthy then I should have a 600 lb squat by next july.
Today was 4x9@315
Using 450 as my max. Not doing full max because I don't want to burn out.
