ME Lower: Squat PR

[Zander1983]

No more pussy footing around... Time to make a real athlete out of me.

Full Olympic Squats

132 x 5
176 x 3
220 x 3
264 x 1
286 x 1
308 x 1
330 x 1
352 x 1 PR (+ 22 pounds, plenty of room for improvement though, especially out of the hole and I think I was starting to GM it up towards the end)

Good Mornings
220 x 5 x 3 sets

Overhead Lunges
88 x 5/side

Saxon Side Bends
22 x 20/side

Zott Presses

That is all, I was pushed for time. Took about 45 minutes in total.

Thanks guys

I've ditched a well organised, periodized plan in favour of just doing what I feel needs to be done on the day, while following a WSB template. Its just what I need right now... Keeping my goals in mind of course.

My knees were fine.

I think I might need to strengthen my core quite a bit though.

WOw nice you seem to be better at low rep higher weight stuff, like close to singles and doubles. Its even more impressive because you do them ass to grass.... keep it up....400 soon!

Thanks mate. I think its because I'm fast twitch dominant. Higher reps beat me into the ground... Stepping out of the rack with anything over 300 for a single feels seriously heavy for me, but I kept cranking them out.
