Back squat day.
Went back to week 2 of the plan. I know I said I'd start with week 3, but I was a bit scared of the back squat and I figured I already started the week not doing week 3, so why not start week 3 fresh next Monday? Right? So this week can be whatever, and week 2 3 sets of 5 at 80% (235# for back squats) seem like a good idea.
Started with some mobility work, rolling out the glutes, lazy push ups. Did some bretzels right before the weight started to get heavy.
I needed a solid back squat workout and today I delivered. It was a busy day at the Y so I was working in with Dave Rapai. After warming up to 225# we couldn't find any 5# plates nearby but we each had a 10#, so I figured why not, I'll do 245# instead.
It wasn't easy, but I did it. I was solid. Very upright. All this work on my back with the upward dog/lazy pushup and bretzels is making a big difference and improving my position.
Very happy with this workout.
Hit the steam room afterwards. Fabulous.
