Squats

Getting back the strength I lost from the PT test. I plan on meeting my past numbers and blast right past them. Tonight was pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

Warm Up
Squats - 135lbs/8 reps.
Stretching.
Squats - 135lbs/8 reps, 225lbs/6 reps.

Power Phase
Squats (with belt) - 5 sets/1 rep/315, 335, 365, 385, 405lbs (last set with knee sleeves).
*4 minutes rest between sets*

Pump Phase
Squats (with belt) - 6 sets/3 reps/405lbs + med bands (295lbs to 360lbs)
*3 minutes rest after each set*

Last set of the Pump Phase was actually 4 reps. I really had to psych up for the last three Pump Phase sets. Everything felt good and I'll be much stronger next week for working hard this week. Duh!
