Squat Training
Mesocycle 20 - Week 4

Beginning Thoughts:
Just got back from the gym. Terrible day in terms of diet. In terms of performance it was stellar.
Workout:
Overhead Squats:
135 lbs x 3 reps
155 lbs x 2 reps
It's been so long since I've done this exercise!! My shoulders are getting adjusted to the lift so I think in a couple of weeks I should be more smooth with the 155-175 range.

Front Squats:
235 lbs x 5 reps
255 lbs x 3 reps
285 lbs x 1 rep
315 lbs x 1 rep
I did remember to bring my video camera this time...I just wanted to see if I could hit 315. Next week onwards I'm gonna work within the 90-100% range for one single and then do doubles in the 80-90% range.

Back Squats:
315 lbs x 2 reps
315 lbs x 2 reps
325 lbs x 1 rep
This lift feels so alien to me....

Anderson Half Front Squats:
325 lbs x 1 rep
325 lbs x 1 rep
I thought this was gonna be easy as pie...Boy was I wrong!

Front Planks with Alternating Raised Arm and Leg:
BW x 60 seconds x 2 sets
Destroyed me. I hate anything timed because it becomes so mundane and 100% of the battle is in the mind and with my ADD I cannot concentrate on nothing for that long!!!!!

Four Squat Workout:
Overall Impression:
Very tiring workout...but I am very pleased with the results!

I am gonna do this Four Squat Workout from now on out. I will gradually increase density over the next few weeks but I am going to be running a small cycle for Front Squats too. I won't be hitting 315 for quite a while...

All in all it's been a good weekend. I hope y'all have had fun too. Thanks for reading!
