Monday 2/7/11

Afternoon:

Back squat - 45lbs 1x5, 60lbs 1x5, 75lbs 1x5, 90lbs 1x3, 105lbs 1x5, 120lbs 1x3, 135lbs 1x8

Double swings 2x 20kg - 5x15

Skullcrushers 32lbs - 5x10

Squat improvement 8 reps of 135lbs.

I felt much stronger in these than I did last week. It's possible that the cold coming on affected me or it's just that I needed to groove the backsquat form. Regardless I felt strong even though last year I did 20 reps with 135 lbs.

Another thing that helped alot and I guess it just really clicked is really concentrating on pressurizing my abs. It made a huge difference with just a small adjustment.

Honestly the swings hit me harder than the squats did. My hamstrings are really feeling it.
