Monday Squats

Once again the week end is over and it's back to the grind. Along with Monday comes squat day. Here's how I did.

Raw Squats - Bar/12 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 275lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/1 rep.
*put belt on*
Squats - 315lbs/3 reps, 365lbs/1 rep.
*use bench*
Bench Squats (15 inches) - 365lbs/4 reps, 405lbs/1 rep.
*put suit on*
suit squats - 405lbs/3 reps, 405lbs/3 reps, 455lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/3 reps.

super set
Leg Curls - 45lbs/12 reps, 70lbs/10 reps, 80lbs/8 reps, 90lbs/6 reps.
Hyper Extensions - 4 sets/10 reps.

Machine Crunches (abs) - 4 sets/12 reps/100, 120, 130, 140lbs.

A very good work out. Not my strongest but good none the less. I have once again tightened up my squat suit straps. I'm not sure if it's helping though. At 455lbs I found it difficult to straighten up at the start of the movement. I also found it difficult to make depth. I'll try it once more and decide if the straps need to be loosened a bit. I'm doing all the heavy sets to condition my CNS before I start my pre competition progression. I want 405lbs (185kg) to feel light. Tomorrow is bench day.
