Cube week 2, day 3 -- max squat
Started with B-Ala/creatine mix and one scoop of Craze. Added another half to my peri-water.
Used a loose set of briefs, knee sleeves, and added a belt when it got heavy. Dynamic warm-up for quads, hams, glutes, hips, and knees. Bar work jumps for warm ups were 10%.
Squat:
80% x2: 270kg
85% x2: 290kg
90% x1: 305kg
93% x1: 315kg
80% x4: 270kg felt fine
Weights went up pretty fast. 80% felt easy, actually, which I didn't expect. Felt pretty good.
GM, 3x8: 100kg, took them slow. Felt surprisingly good, but low back was checking in during the last set.
Step-ups, loaded, 3x20: 50kg, I think (maybe 70), superset with...
Lunges, loaded, 3x12: same bar
Reverse Hyper x60: with whatever was there. Back was tired by this point, so I got them done.
I was a little concerned about how much this one would hurt, but it really didn't. I went in a little tired in the quads, I think because I've been squatting under bathroom cabinets swapping out plumbing for the past three days. My back was stiff as anything this morning. Didn't turn out to matter, though I may take a contrast shower just to protect myself.
Time to eat.
Thanks.
