8/24/2015 Squats Pause

For a long time.

Well at least it felt like a long time for me.

Paused squats

I was challenged by Matt Brass to hold my squat for a long time in the hole. I did. Well I thought I did.

Mobility! I actually did some kind of warm up!

Bar x 5
135 x 10
225 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 1 paused
455 x 1 paused
495 x 1 paused. I was happy and not happy with this. But more happy than not happy.

Hey @jcbrass turns out I can't count past 3 when doing #pausedsquats #squateveryday. I thought it was longer. About 45 seconds is what it felt like. @elitefts #elitefts #stronger #dynamobarbell @dynamobarbellclub @inov_8 #fatfeet @pauloneid @jayneezy2100 @paulv79

Drop set of 315 for 10.

The worst part about training after work is the drive to get in there and train. I work late a lot and when you add that onto the training that does not leave a lot of time for family. Even less for Odin as I get home about an hour before he goes to bed. It is a necessary evil for the long term gain. My name job pays much better than my last one. Which I hope will afford us a chance to move to a house from this condo where I can outfit the garage with a place to train of my own.
