Squat. Cube week 6.

Warmup

Banded GM, lunges, adductor/abductor stretch * 15 * 2

Squats 

60*10

85 * 5

100 * 4

115 * 3

135 * 6 * 3

Was really tempted to lower the weight to 132.5kg because the bar move really slow on the last rep of my first set but after much encouragement from Twain decided to stick to it. A sigh of relief as I did not fail any rep today.

Pause squat (1s)

140 * 1 * 2

The pause squats were okay. 1 sec is enough, any longer might have problem coming out of the hole. Need to get comfortable in the hole.

Wide stance GM

60 * 8 * 3

Can really work on the form.

Lunges 

20kg per hand * 15 * 3

These are hard, had to break them down to sets of 5 mentally. And had to grip them tight for quite a while.

Oly squats 

60 * 65 + 10 reps after 30 sec rest or so

Today I become one with the bar as I squat for reps. Really got into the groove as I went rep for rep. Watch the video for my expression. Video too long to be uploaded. 5 mins of being under the bar really develops character. Did not shout, just kept staring forward and repping it out. Happy with today's session. Hope no cramps later.

135kg for 6 reps
