CUBE Week 5 Day 3
06/02/13
Squat Heavy Day
Squat - 3x2 180kgGM - 3x8 - 100, 107.5, 115kg
Split Squat - 3x15 each leg 40kg
Reverse Hyper - 3x12 (3 second pause)
Back Raises - 25 total reps
Band leg curls - 2x50
Squats were unbelted and felt good. Feeling more secure with not using my belt over the last few week. Easy to become overly reliant on it.
GM are feeling strong only my second time doing straight bar in months after using the SSB for them. It has improved my lower back strength a lot using it.
Split squats made me feel like death. 1 leg elevated on bench behind me. Belt on for bit of stability. Quads are weak hence why I am working them more. With no leg press I feel these hit my quads well. head was all over the place after these.
Reverse hypers of back of GHR. self explanatory. Back raises. Meant to do 60 total reps but lower back was tired so left it at 25.
Choked 2 purple bands round base of 2x2 rack then put them round my leg curl attachment on the bench. incredible hamstring pump #penguin walk.
That is it for today. Off work today and tomorrow so day 4 tomorrow. Thanks for reading
Strong squatting Scott. Are you doing the GMs without a belt as well?
ReplyDeletethx ben room for improvement! yeh all beltless wana focus on form.without.the belt for a bit then as weights get heavier fire it on. ur deads wer strong las nite!
ReplyDeleteI've done the same this time round. It's definitely thickened up my core and also my erectors. Deads are moving ok. Think I'm gonna deload them as my lower back has a good bit of DOMS and is pretty fatigued with the squats going up too!
