Squat / pull day with video
Tonight was a good night. I had a pr triple planned in the squat and I was hoping not to have a depressing DL night. I had my expectations high for the squat and low for the DL. What's new?

My technique is slowly getting better and this was the best rep of the cycle so far. We are alternating heavy and speed weeks now. Last week was a speed day with multiple singles at 50% plus a band. This week I felt fresh and again my back was looser then it has been all meet cycle. Changes are great when they yield results.

The goal of these is to give my low back some extra work with out the belt with out it breaking it. So far so good. My lats and traps are also getting work in to and they are sore today.
