Quads, Glutes, Low Back

• Hip Belt Squats: several warm sets 55 lbs, 75 lbs, 125 lbs x 20, 15, 15 (wow - these were full, deep squats. Not 3/4 squats with 120 last session. So, 5 lbs more, below parallel squats, 30 seconds or less between sets. Legs pumped. Some coughing after last set that was pretty intense coughing…lasted about 2 minutes then I was OK.)
• Traditional Deadlifts/Squats with Dumbbells: 50 lbs x 10 (warm), 95 lbs x 10, 10, 10 (As usual, this had me sucking wind. I was resting upwards of 8 minutes between sets on these. Wow! This was 20 lbs more than my last session when I used 75 lb dumbbells. Plus, I did more reps than last session. It sure was good for my lungs though! I was able to remove unwanted fluids in a productive fashion.)

Observations:

Strength gains across the board. Used heavier weights, and I intesified the Hip Belt Squats by squating nearly 2x deeper than last session - as deep as I could go - far below parallel. Deadlifts went from 75 lbs to 95-100 lbs per dumbbell. Dumbbell Deadlifts are a bitch!

I had some congestion, and to be honest ….. this sort of workout is NOT the sort of workout you want if you are congested. But, I did it anyway. I was furious with intent, and I was not going to be denied by CF. I refuse to let it dictate to me in this instance. I dictate to it. I tell it what to do. Not the other way around! Not as long as I have any say in the matter.
