Squat: Return of the Volume

Training down at 4-star for the next two weeks. Phils was there and loaned me his high-heels for me to try. They seem alright and I feel slightly more upright. I used to use the Inzer Pillars, but those are cheap. I will likely switch to heeled shoes now.

Squat:
407 x 5
418 x 5
429 x 5

Box Squat:
off 10" box (I'm guessing 10, could be 11? Def. below parallel)
275 x 8, 4 sets

These feel great for stretching the groin at the bottom.

Cambered Bar Squat:
225 x 8
315 x 8, 3 sets
365 x 7

Went slow and focused on getting as low as possible.


Banded abs + a walk around the block with 140lbs of chains. Overall feeling pretty good. No pain in the lower back for the first time in a long while.

Squat

Squats:
330 X 5 (belt only)

After I did these, I put on the bottoms of my Fusion deadlift suit and messed around a bit. I tried to sink a few reps at 259 and 313 but didn't hit depth. They are a lot tighter than the bottoms of the Max DL. Maybe I'll give it a run next week when I use my gear.

Cambered Bar Squats:
225 X 5
245 X 5
275 X 5

SS Bar Good Mornings off pins:
135 X 8 (4 sets)
