Squats

Testing out my new Titan knee sleeves today. They didn't disappoint. Check it out.

Warm Up
Stretching.
Foam Rolling.
Stretching.
Squats (raw) - 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/4 reps, 405lbs/1 rep.

Power Phase
Squats (knee sleeves and belt) - 5 sets/1 rep/455lbs.
*5 minutes rest after each set*

Pump Phase
Squats (knee sleeves, no belt) - 3 sets/5 reps/315lbs, 3 sets/4 reps/315lbs.
*3 minutes rest after each set*

Walk to the mail box and back to decompress.

A really good work out. All reps were competition legal as usual. I'm really pushing my limits and getting into numbers that are more suitable for my size. Still more to go. I'd like to be up near 495lbs in knee sleeves by the Eastern Canadians this November.
