Sunday was a squat day at Apollon Gym.
The lift was a box squat agains a strong and average band. In other words, it was f*cking hard.
Warmed up, and worked up as follows:
bar x a bunch
Strong band x 5
Both bands x 1
Added METAL Original Pro Brief
150 x 1
200 x 1
240 x 1
290 x 1
330 x 1
380 x 1
Added Original Pro suit bottom
420 x 1
470 x 1
500 x 1
I was a little disappointed at first, because the last time I worked up with this setup, I hit 560. But then my training partners reminded me that this was at Eastside Barbell, where we squatted out of a standard rack with the mono attachment. Since our moonlight has a bigger base, it means the band tension was higher.
That made me feel a bit better.
For assistance, I started on the reverse hyper. This time, I used only 1 plate per side, but did it without swinging, which really pumps up my lower back.
Next were good girl/bad girls, and standing cable abs.
