Q 8/17 WSFSB Squat intensity

Squat: 290lb x5 @8
Much easier than expected. Each rep was fairly fast.

Pistol squats: 16lb x8 x3

Leg curls: 80lb x10, 95lb x8 x2

Swiss ball crunches: 10lb x10 x3
Ab exercises all feel incredibly silly, but I guess trunk flexion is a weakness I could bring up.

BW at 171lb. 290/171 = 1.70.
I want to make sure strength/bw ratio goes up every time until I reach 315/175 = 1.80 sometime in the next 2 months.

My WS4SBv3

For those that are interested, this is my personal version of WSFSBv3, the speed and strength variation. 

This is the original article. 

The strength and speed template is intended for athletes who want/need to incorporate speed training and conditioning into their program. In my version I've added extra conditioning finishers on upper body days, as I rarely get to do a pure conditioning day.
