Man these are tough...and fun. Really focused on driving up against the bar and keeping a tight back.

Nice and light. Didn't want to go gungho just yet because I still want to see how this week goes with manageable weights.

Definitely not challenging weight wise. The challenge comes from stability about mid squat on the eccentric portion. I've got plenty of mobility ie no buttwink or very very little, so I'm happy. I won't jump right into this one either, I'll probably slap a couple 5 or 10lb plates on next time.
My training partner couldn't even do them using a towel (pulled taught with his hands) because he lacks mobility, flexibiltity, and stability. Its ok though because he is relatively new to the gym (8months experience) and his body has never had to do this type of movement. I think a bit of pratice doing the movement, along with a few others I've given him, will iron out some of the issues. I think he's got the mob/flex/stab to do them, its just hidden

Overall I got a good feeling from this workout. Should workout nicely. (pun intended
