Day 16 Squats

A surprisingly excellent day of squats. 

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats - bar/12 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/3 reps.

Power Phase - 405lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/2 reps, 405lbs/4 reps.


Pump Phase - 3 sets/8,8,10 reps/225lbs.

I wore my competition singlet today. I needed to confirm that my squats are on point. Now I know they are. 405lbs for 4 reps is pretty darn good. These were comfortable and I could have done five maybe six. This puts me in an excellent position for Provincials. Still a few weeks to go. Nice and easy.
During my downtime I still exercise on the rebounder. I've added some negative pull ups while bouncing. I bounce up and supply resistance down. 10-14 reps every 5 to 10 minutes. A really good strength building exercise.
