Squat Training
Mesocycle 21 - Week 1
Beginning Thoughts:
Just got back from the gym...I'm pretty destroyed. Workout:
Overhead Squats:
115 lbs x 5 reps
135 lbs x 4 reps
145 lbs x 3 reps
155 lbs x 1 rep
I need to work on technique more. For some reason my left arm just doesn't lockout the weight at the grip width I using. I think I'll wear elbow sleeves next time. Weird that my elbows are playing games with me.
Front Squats:
235 lbs x 5 reps
250 lbs x 4 reps
265 lbs x 2 reps
275 lbs x 2 reps
Decent work..
Back Squats:
275 lbs x 5 reps
285 lbs x 4 reps
295 lbs x 2 reps
315 lbs x 2 reps
Some of the reps may not have been "A2G" which is fine with me. I hate back squats but I've found they're useful in improving my Front Squats and vice versa.
Anderson Half Back Squats:
315 lbs x 3 reps
325 lbs x 1 rep
Will increase volume next week..
Russian Twists:
25 lbs x 7 reps
35 lbs x 6 reps
35 lbs x 8 reps
These are kinda difficult and I felt them in my lower abs really hard - not that you can really "isolate" your lower abs. Videos:
Four Squat Workout:
Overall Impression:
I'm writing a 15 page Intermediate Macroeconomic paper on the current crisis of the PIIGS: Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain. Very interesting...I feel so exhausted though!!!
Diet has been very bad. Graduation is close which means final exams are literally one week away so right now my diet isn't very high up on my priority list. However, I am keeping my protein intake pretty high. Hopefully I will be able to lose some weight over the next few weeks.
My goal in terms of physique is to drop down to the 185-190 range. I doubt it will happen anytime soon but I intend on getting it done by November.
I hope everyone's had a good weekend. I went and saw "The Losers" on Saturday night. Awesome movie. I love movies like that because everyone knows it's a shitty plot: the makers, the audience, the actors, everyone! You just gotta revel in that fact hahaha!!!
