August 28 Squat

So my schedule is back to normal and i am returning to the same day as Montreal Barbell but i had heavy squat last thursday and i was not fully recover. Simon is back from vacation and he did squat too...doing the same training schedule as mine.

raw warm-up

135 x 10

225 x 5

315 x 3

brief on

315 x 4

315 x 1

had some time between this set and the other cause i needed to help Simon with his set...we can't squat at the same time because he walk out and i use my makeshift monolift.

495 x 2

loose knee wrap on + bottom suit

600 x 2

tighter knee wrap + strap up

685 x 1

add reverse mini-band

750 x 1

800 x 1

Those last 2 were easy...getting myself used to the weight and slowly working my way up - progressive overload with the reverse band. Everything is planned so i can squat what i was doing last meet without the bands in a month or so and after that new cycle to get higher in weight for my next meet in december...

Was too tired for accessories today and went home. Only to see an hour later that Irene storm made a tree crash in front of the house... :(

Simon did 600 with the reverse today...i will get him to this weight for a meet in november.
