Squats...:)

[b fold the truth]

Well, I squatted today. First time squatting in a month because of my injury. I had problems hitting parallel because of balance (around the right leg, hamstring, knee area) problems. I watched the vids and it looked kinda funny...like the weight owned me instead of the other way around. Anyway, this was my general workout..

Squat:
135 x 5
225 x 3
315 x 2
405 x 1
495 x 1
545 x 1 (loose briefs and loose belt)
585 x 1 (loose briefs and loose belt)
635 x 1 (loose single ply suit, loose briefs, tighter belt)
225 x 5

Power Stair Deadlift
3 sets up to 330 x 5 reps

Pulthroughs
heavy band x 8 x 3 sets

Reverse Hypers
BW x 8 x 2 sets

Standing one leg band ham curls
light band x 10 x 2 sets

Abs

Various hip exercises with bands.

Right leg is a little 'tight' at the moment. Using lots of absorbine JR and will take 1 ibuprofen before bedtime. Lots of stretching ahead of me, but this is progress. The 635 felt hard, like I was out of control. It will come back....first time squatting in a month. First time doing anything like it in a month...

Next week...back to box squatting dynamically (hopefully) and I plan to take a couple of heavier sets afterwards (500-625).

Thanks...

When you see the video you will see how 'wacky' the sets look...lol. I think that the suit was throwing me off a lot...or maybe it is because my lower spine is still killing me from the rack pulls on Sunday.

Progress...is all I can ask for.

Here are the vids. They just look horrible. Knees moving fwd, not sitting back, don't feel comfortable hitting parallel...but I will fix all of them.

When you watch the vids you can see that on some sets I lean fwd A LOT. My lower back is still hurting from Sunday (rack pulls...lol) and I just don't feel comfortable sitting back just yet. It will come though...

I WILL fix all of them. This is just the start!!!!

405 raw

495 raw

635 in loose single poly suit, loose briefs, tight belt

I plan to hopefully get back to box squats next week. My injury has kept me from them for a month or so...but I'll be back soon.

Just wanted to say thanks...

I've watched the vid about 100 times today and I just didn't even hit parallel Darn it... I'll get it though...I need to hit those box squats.

I might also try to do a set of 5 with 405 or so this next week (without the box) and work on my hip strength as well as feeling comfortable going deeper.... What do you think?
