Dee 4/21 - Squat

Morning - training with BWRFC:

Running pyramid: 100m, 200, 300, 400, back down, 100m walk as rest.
Circuit: pushups/arms, plank/core, jump rope, 1min on, 10s between, 3 circuits

TPS Squat day:
2x5x45lbs, 5x95, 3x115, 3x135, 3x155, 3x3x135

A very good day for beginner squatters learning to lift, and a good environment to train in for experienced lifters. Got some advice on driving my elbows forward/up when coming out of the hole, hence the extra sets to work on that. It changes how the bar sits on my back so it will take some practice. Met a Mystic River (elite local rugby team) dude there who has a very deep squat but wobbly knees. Also talked to Jane Stabile a bit, who is a world champion equipped lifter in the 50+ age brackets, and very nice. I'm a big fan o' her. :)
