M18 W1 Squat Training

Squat Training
Mesocycle 18 - Week 1

Beginning Thoughts:

Just got back from the gym...

Workout:

Front Squats:
255 lbs x 1 rep @ 90%
225 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets @ 80%
Running the Gillingham cycle right now. My boy Xiva from Muscle Mecca suggested this cycle...Let's hope I make some gains on it! 

Metabolic Conditioning for 2 rounds:
Unilateral RDLs = 25 lbs x 7 reps
Swiss Ball Jackknife Pikes = BW x 10 reps
Cable Pull-throughs = 80 lbs x 12 reps
Side Plank Rows = BW x 30 seconds
I haven't done any conditioning training in like 5 months now. I want to get back to doing this more regularly because it keeps me in good shape. I have to make sure I don't overdo it because this stuff drains me. Today was a reasonable okay day and I managed to do some good. My form was kinda iffy on several sets (y'all can see that in the video) but it will improve.

Grip Training:
Crushers @ 150N for several sets, reps and static holds
I managed to get my hands on one of these crushers (CoC I think) and I used it. Pretty cool.
