Training Log: Squat

Shoulder stretch, foam roller, leg stretch with bands

Warm up sets

Working sets:

310 x 5

355 x 5

400 x 5

 

Assistance work:

Front squats:

135 x 8

225 x 6

 

Foam roller

 

Hadn’t done front squats in a while so kept it light. This should help me hit depth, and change/strengthen the involvement of my core during squats. Only did two sets because honestly, I was just yappin’ too much in the gym and ran out of time.  Overall, it was a less than stellar week of lifting. Next week will be better.
