Back at it, speed squats, 5-22-02

[b fold the truth]

Well, not much rest time for me...gotta get back at it. My next contest will have farmers walk, atlas stones, log press, and conan's wheel.

Box Squats (no band tension)
325 x 2 x 8 sets (45 seconds rest between sets)

Farmer Holds
150's x 15 seconds
200's x 15 seconds

Rev Hypers
mini band x 6 x 2 sets

Standing Calf Raises
BW x 15 x 2 sets

Atlas Squats
320 x 3 reps

That was it for today. I don't have any sore bodyparts still from the contest but I still feel slightly achy. Back with the band tension and increasing my gym work next week.

Good shit Bfold, I heard that you did well in your last meet. Are you working on just your grips for the Farmer's???? I was wondering if you are gonna do speed squats without the box included??? I just got started again and I did one set of boxes yesterday, it felt good but very weird the stress seemed moslty on my hips and ass untill I exploded up... Oh well I give updastes soon...

Thanks man...

I just wanted to add the farmers in there as holds because I will be using 275's this next time for 100ft instead of 250's for 160ft. Always training the grip. I could have held those 250's forever though...

I only do my speed squats with a box...it helps the deadlift more than anything. It does put a lot of stress on the hips and glutes...but that is a good stress. Just watch my atlas stone video...once cradled...is goes from rock bottom position.

Gotta work on my rounded back strength too...

Why does everyone keep asking me about my avatar? What avatar?

Did I mention that my glutes, hams, hips, and hip flexors are all sore today? I love it. Quads a bit too!!!

Not for sure what did it...box squats, atlas squats, or the sled dragging on Thursday...but my inner hams are very very sore...right where they connect with my glutes. Ouch...

speed squats were quick. looked like you didnt even have weight on your back.

Those were the best atlas stone squats i've ever seen!

Thanks. I am not for sure if I want to add band tension next week or just keep increasing the weight. I'd like to do my 8 sets with 400+lbs in a few weeks to work on increasing the load at the bottom of the lift. Not for sure yet...

I should have done 5 reps on the atlas squats...must have wussed out. It was after doing box squats and rev hypers though. I'll get 5-6 next week and hope to get 10 with light tacky only in the next 3 weeks.
