15/11/11
Squat
60 x 5
100 x 3
112.5 x 3 - Realised that the reason I'm suddenly struggling with these is I am going a lot lower than parallel. Not really a problem but is going to be more difficult with progression.
117.5 x 3 - PB The middle one here was well below parallel, going to try and find a depth and stick to it as I think I am quite inconsistent at the moment. Always parallel or lower though
117.5 x 2 - Had a third but wanted to save energy for the third set.
120 x 2 - PB Belted, really pleased with this, 5kg more than I had ever squatted before.
60 x 5 - Slow Paused squats to warm down.

Press with a clean at the start

Exciting squats.
I swear so many people must e-stat on here. Some people gaining like 40kg on squat in a month.
My training is still a bit slow but back is still steadily improving. Probably hitting gym late tomorrow btw.
