Squat Day 7/20/2010

Good to be back after a week off from lifting. I was gonna do some conditioning last week but I had the stomach flu pretty bad. The big thing today was to get my squat to a more Russian style. By that I mean to bring in my hands closer and not low bar so much. This will help keep me straight up during the whole lift. It's gonna take a little bit to get used to but I'm getting the hang of it.

Squat

315 x 5

325 x 5

335 x 5

315 x 5 ( easy; there was no way I was going to get 335 for 5 so I lowered the weight to get some reps in )

Box Squats

275 x 5

285 x 5

295 x 5

These felt a little awkward because I haven't done them in a while.

Front Squats

185 x 8

195 x 8

205 x 6

I did these instead of lunges because my weakness is rounding my back and staying upright.

Abs w/ Medicine Ball w/ Victor

4 sets; kicked my ass

Ran for 1.25 miles at Drake. Excellent lifting day that ended with a footlong tuna sandwich from subway.
