03/08/10 Squat

Good workout. Box squats felt good, slow but good. 345 and 365 felt very powerful. Was programmed to do reverse band squats like last week but forgot to ask Dave to bring them in. So I substituted in the rack lockouts. These were good because they really forced me to stay tight.


I was supposed to do GMOPs as a 3rd movement but since I did the rack lockouts which were very similar I scrapped that and did some leg extensions to hit the quads. I also wanted to save my lower back so I could hit this weeks deadlift day hard - to make up for last weeks disaster.

275 lbs x 2 reps x 1 sets @ 8 RPE
315 lbs x 2 reps x 1 sets @ 8 RPE

I would say 11 RPE for your 375 set of box squats...+1 because of the mental exertion from keeping your laughter contained after the atomic bomb went off in your shorts...haha, your squats definitely looked strong though.
