05/17/10 Squat

With nationals less than a month away I need to begin to cut some volume and start increasing intensity. With the workout I maintained the volume prescribed but cut back the intensity as opposed to the past few weeks. I wanted to hit a heavy set of 5 for a potential PR and then take it a little easy. The first work set at 315 felt tougher than it should but I am learning my first work set always seems a bit difficult but I come back strong on the second set.

Squat
315 x 5 reps x 1 set @8 RPE
345 x 5 reps x 1 set @8.5 RPE
325 x 5 reps x 1 set @8.5 RPE
325 x 5 reps x 1 set @9 RPE

Reverse band squat (greens)
455 x 3 reps x 1 set @8.5 RPE
475 x 3 reps x 1 set @9 RPE
495 x 3 reps x 1 set @9.5 RPE
505 x 3 reps x 1 set @10 RPE

Finished with eagle glute machine and some plyos (low box+foam jumps and one-legged step-ups)

Total Workout Time: 1h 20m

BW: 185.6 (post dinner...need to watch this!!)
