Strong pulling there, wow !!

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Good squat session last night.

Warmup with 3 x sets of 10-12, then onto 3 x sets of 8, increase the weight for 3 x sets of 5 and finally hit some heavy triples for 3 x sets of 3.

Can highly recommend that one!

It appears I need to have a certain # of posts before I can start a thread, so I'll post my workout from last night here.

SQUATS

(warm-up: Stairmill (5 min. @L5)

1. safety-squat bar parallel box squats
60x20
110x10
150x5
200x3
belt
240x1
260x1
290x1
310x1
330x1
350x1
380x1

2. shoulder-width stance leg press
180x10
360x6
540x6
720x6
900x6

3. glut-ham raises
bwx5x6

3-5 min. rest periods for squats, 3 for leg press, 1 for ghr.

I'm just getting back to hitting it hard in the gym after an extended lay-off so this workout felt good.

After not squatting with a straight bar for years, 3 weeks ago I hit 315x1 and then 315x5—then the next week I hit 330x1 and then 330x5 with the SSB so my strength is returning rather quickly.

This workout was also completed after training 5 days straight with 30 min. on the Stairmill each day so it's fair to say that if I return to a 3-day/week, no cardio plan my strength should hopefully come back even faster.
