Squats

Bench and Deadlifts went really well last week. I wasn't so sure about Squats today. I really surprised myself. Slowing everything down again.

Stationary Bike - 10 minutes. 

Vibration Table - 5 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats (no belt, no sleeves, no shoes) - BW/5 reps, bar/5 reps, 135lbs/5 reps, 4 sets/5 reps/225lbs, 235lbs/5 reps.


Static Stretches and Foam Rolling. 

The day after Deadlifts my back was really tight and sore. The back is a difficult area to stretch properly. After some research I found I could foam roll my back instead of stretching it. I also rolled my adductors on the barbell and hollow roller.


I feel amazing right now. The plan will be to go up in weight slightly on one set. Similar to what I did today. Periodically I'll work in a heavy training day. Maybe once a month. Right now I'm working on the slow deliberate reps.
