M22 W1 Squat Training

Squat Training
Mesocycle 22 - Week 1

Beginning Thoughts:

This is yesterday's workout. I felt pretty decent going into it.

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
135 lbs x 5 reps
145 lbs x 3 reps
155 lbs x 1 rep
The set with 145 lbs because a rest paused set lol. I leaned too far forward on the 2nd rep and the bar crashed into the safety bars. So I had to reset it and do the last 2 reps separately. I'll get better as I do this more often.

Front Squats:
205 lbs x 5 reps
235 lbs x 4 reps
255 lbs x 3 reps
275 lbs x 2 reps
This was really good.

Back Squats:
275 lbs x 5 reps
295 lbs x 3 reps
315 lbs x 2 reps
I still hate back squats but they felt good.

Anderson Half Squats:
315 lbs x 5 reps
345 lbs x 3 reps
345 lbs x 3 reps

Swiss Ball Jackknife Pikes:
BW x 8 reps x 4 sets

Overall Impression:

Today (Sunday) is going to be a rest day. I am sore as hell from this workout and I am glad to be taking an off. If I didn't mention this earlier, I am on a new layout:

Day 1: Deadlift Training - Basically doing Deadlifts, Pistol Squats and Core Training

Day 2: Off

Day 3: Back Training - Weighted Pull-ups, Chest Supported Rows (till I get adjustable dumbbell handles made for me), High Cable Rows, Facepulls, etc etc

Day 4: Squat Training - 4 different Squat variations plus some Core Training

Day 5: Off/Grip Training every other week - just gripper action

Day 6: Press Training - heavy OHPs and Pull-ups (bodyweight only), supplementary lifts, etc

Day 7: Off

Day 8: Off

Day 9: Repeat

So this is how my training is going to look from here on out.

I hope everyone's having a good week. I went and saw Shrek 3D. It was pretty good.

Thanks for reading!
