Cube week 4, day 3 -- Squats for speed
B-Ala/creatine mix and a lot of dynamic work to start, particularly for the hips and hams.
Wore my loosest Jack briefs and knee sleeves and suited in a loose Ace where noted.
Squat with suit, 5x2 @80%: 275kg with the straps down, came up easy. Tried one with the straps up, but it's been so long that I had trouble with setup; rather than risk hurting myself, I took the straps down
Squat reverse band, 1x2 @90%: 305kg with a light band, came up fast; still had straps down for this set
Olympic squats, paused in the hole against the calves, 5x5: 200kg, felt surprisingly good, no suit for these; I expected to have to drop weight, but they felt good
Step-ups, weighted, 4x12: these were supposed to be leg press, but I was improvising; took all the support gear off before doing these (and remaining movements)
GHR with bands, 3x12: strict and slow with two monster minis -- I'll be lucky if I can walk tomorrow
DB Swings: used a heavy DB and made quick good mornings out of them, doing strict, hard KB swings out of them
I think I'm getting a GoPro Hero for Christmas, though not sure. If so, video evidence will accompany the new year.
I'm tired. Off to eat.
