This week in my heavy squat rotation was SS Yoke Bar Box Squats. Since I worked up to a max triple on cambered bar last week, I went with 3x3 with a submax weight this week. My issue last week (and in general with squats) was pitching forward. So I tried to find a weight right at the threshold of when I would typically start to round forward and hit several sets at that weight. I did a better job at being patient off the box and keeping my abs/lats tight to stay upright, but still need some more work.
