BACK IN THE GYM

BACK FROM TAIWAN. HELLOOOOOO SQUATS

14/5/13

Squat
146*7*3
Felt good, fast.

Paused squat (5 sec)
121*5*3
Pretty comfy in the hole, but every rep was a real battle, getting out of the hole and shit. Can't say this enough, pausing is really good for building 1)confidence in going BALLS DEEP, 2)out-of-hole strength, and 3)practising the correct movement pattern, since descent has to be controlled, and you gotta fight to ascend WHILE bracing your core to prevent lower back from rounding. 

Unilateral leg press
up to 80*1*12
Went as deep as possible on these, really good for glute and hamstring work, especially since im a quad dominant squatter. 

Quick workout today, went for lunch with a friend after. Glad that i didn't lose that much strength. Weighed in at 87kg today.
