Frank (4/1): RTS, Volume 3, Squat

Squat
5x45, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225, 3x275, 3x315, 1x365
3x395 @ 10
3x395 @ 10
3x395 @ 10
The first rep was OK on all sets. The third rep was bad on even the first set. The others noticed that I seem to stall about half way out of the hole.

High Box Squat
2x405 @ 8
2x455 @ 9-
2x455 @ 9-
I did this on Lauren's recommendation. I seem to stall about an inch off the box, which I guess means this is where I need more work, though it seems to me that this is a bit higher than where I usually stop. Ross also said that I look very uncomfortable under a heavy load, so this will help me get used to it. I'm uncertain whether my weak squat is due to technique problems or just not being strong enough, but I'm betting on the latter. In the future, I'll do these as squat assistance on deadlift days.

Reverse Band Deadlift
