M21 W2 Squat Training

Squat Training
Mesocycle 21 - Week 2

Beginning Thoughts:

Last week I did the 4 Squat workout...my soreness made my Deadlift workout impossible. So, this week, I decided to revisit a past chapter and dedicate this workout to Pistol Squats, Pull-ups, Grip Training and core work.

Workout:

Pistol Squats:
3 + 3 + 7 + 4 + 8 = 25 reps
I am really happy with this. It's been so long since I've done these efficiently I had almost forgotten how to do them. I am going to try get 25 reps in one set this year.

Pull-ups:
8 + 10 + 8 + 10 + 9 + 5 = 50 reps
I did not do these aggressively. I just wanted to hit 50 reps in 5-6 sets with 8-10 reps per set. I am happy with this outcome as well.

Grip Training:
WMT = 5 reps x 2 sets
HG 150 = 2 reps x 2 sets
CoC #1 = 4 Singles
I am glad I've been doing these once every 2 weeks. Progression is a LOT better this week.

Russian Twists:
35 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Dumbbell Windmills:
30 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:

Final exams begin on Wednesday...time to put my nose to the grindstone!!!

I hope everyone's had a good weekend. I haven't seen any movies but I did got to 6th Street in Austin which was a real blast!
