ME Squat Day

Pulled conventional today with an orange band.Bands rule on deadlifts.Hit a PR with 162.5kg on the bar, coulda had 165 maybe but left a little in the tank, wasnt feeling great so I took of the belt for a couple singles at 90ish%.Tried front squats next but my wrists hated them so I did Goblet squats, these are awesome, they are staying in until they stall.Finished with abs and a few band curls.Good day all up.

I'd still be doing goblets if my gym had db's that went past 130lbs. That's the only set back, you run out of resistance quickly.

you forgot to PR in this workout. please repeat it.

Well

I have never maxed on CG 3 boards SOOOOOOOOO technically its a PR with 107.5kg cos thats the most I ever handled CG. ; )

Kane I use spinlock dumbells so I can get em pretty heavy if I want.Not an exercise I'll load to the gills but def gonna keep it in there for reps.The core work on them is amazing.

I'd load those bad boys right up.

I was thinking 3s and 5s on ME day after the main exercise.Maybe a high rep set after too.

Vids

you got below parallel there....how wide were you compared to regular squat stance?

Deads: You're shooting your ass up as soon as you pull, its more like an SDL than a conv. dead. Instead of trying to stand up with the barbell focus on hip extension. Push your ass and hips forward instead of up.

Gobelts: You made it below parallel so I'm going to say that the barbell squats were too heavy. You couldn't make depth because of the weight.

I was a few inches in from my normal stance.But not having a bar on my back def has an effect.i will work my stance out wider on these and see how it goes.If I want to squat hella wide I might need to get that bar up higher on my back too.
