Squats, and a sad minor victory.

It's odd how pleasing something as simple as a 225 pound squat can make you feel.  Particularly when it seems like every time you've attempt to go over 200 for over the past year seems to just injure your back.  Today was a really good day, with that sad minor victory.  But my depth on all of them was really good, at least to the point I'm pleased with it.  It's also sad how accidentally leaving my hiking/work boots on for a set a couple of weeks ago lowers my depth by about two inches, but once again, pleased with that as well.  Partner's squats are coming along nicely too.  So lets get to some numbers...


Squats  135x5, 155x5, 175x5, 185x2, 185x2, 205x2, 205x2, 225x2

Box jumps  5 sets of 5 to medium plyo box.  Once again, someone as fat as I should not be hurling themselves into the air.

Hyper extentions/glute ham raise 3 sets of 8 with a long pause on last rep.


So yeah, damn good day, over all I'm really pleased.  I'll shut this down for the evening, early morning tomorrow.
