Back Squats


BS 21: Michael told me about a technique he likes to use which is start light add 5# for 21 sets to work on a lift so I decided to apply that to BS today since it's my least favorite lift and I've been avoiding it this cycle.

Started with 45# added 5# worked up to 145 and much to my surprise I failed twice on 145. Which is well under my max. I really enjoyed this method and I'm going to continue to use it. Making it all singles and little or no rest was good for me. I was well bellow P on all my reps because I was focusing on one at a time. I am planning on adding this once a week and see how long it takes me to hit my PR and see if that leads me to a new PR which it seems it will.
