Squats

Even though this week is one of the busiest I've had in a while. Work and family commitments I still found 2 hours today to train legs.

Warm Up
Stretching.
Squats - 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/4 reps.

Power Phase
Squats - 405lbs/1 rep (belt only), 425lbs/1 rep (belt, knee sleeves), 445lbs/1 rep (belt, knee sleeves), 465lbs/1 rep (belt knee sleeves).
*ample rest, not timed*

Pump Phase
16 inch Box Squats (wide Stance) - 3 sets/4 reps/315lbs, 3 sets/6 reps/315lbs.
*short rest, not timed*

At this point I'm looking at my watch an saying, "OH CRAP!!!" Several things to do this evening and I'm running behind. I drank my post work out drink during the work out. It's shower, dressed, then get a move on. Great work out!!! 465lbs (210kg +) is a PB in thin knee sleeves.
