January 12 - Max Out Squat Work

When training with WestSide Barbell you basically squat and bench twice a week, once for speed and once for strength.

This was my Max Out squat day. Squats are my weakest lift in comparaison and something I really want to improve on...so here goes!

Box Squats

Warm Up 10X135 10X225 6X315 1X 365 1X 375 1X385(Failed and the weight went crashing down behind me)

Barbell Lunges

4 sets of 12 reps off each leg @ 135

Good Mornings

10x225, 8x245, 6x255, 4x275

Given my recent back pain issues I thought this was pretty good and I felt great afterwards too.

Glute-Ham Raises

It was tough for me to find something to log my legs in but I did my best and work the eccentric part of the movement. It uses your body weight.

I did 4 sets of about 5 reps.

Elevated Crunches

4 sets of 12 using a 20 pound medicine ball extended by my arms over my chest.
