Cube week 9, day 3 -- squat for reps
Usual mix, dynamic work, and bar work to warm up.
Loose briefs, knee sleeves, belt for the heavy stuff.
Squat, 6x3@85%: I stopped at 485#, so significantly less than 85%. In warmup, I pitched forward and essentially did an unplanned 485 pound good morning, which started a spasm mid-back. I thought about scrapping and starting over tomorrow, but just didn't want to. So I went on 6x3 at 485. My back is still in spasm as I type, particularly on the left side, but I got the rest of the training session done.
Wide squat, 3-second pause in the hole, 3x10 @50%: these actually felt good after the other sets.
Lunges with heavy DBs, 3x15
Olympic squats, narrow stance, x40 single set with 165# -- one set, no stopping until done. Everything was wrapped in barbed wire and I was sucking wind hard. I like that.
Abs.
It's been a tough week, which is just life. Mine is still easier than most, I suspect.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Baseball tryouts for the kids tomorrow, and then a draft. We'll see what I have to work with tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, particularly making plans for practices.
Anyway, thanks for checking in.
