Training 26/04/13

Squat and accessory

So tonight we did our first real session of box squatting. Humbling... I took my stance out as wide as possible and turned my feet forward more than usual. These are some of the adjustments I'm gonna be making to my squat technique. We are down to just the 3 guys squatting now and the atmosphere is terrible plus we need more people to make training safe for everyone. We really really need an extra training partner in the group at the moment. If anyone is reading this and fancies it give me a shout.

Box squats to 15" box in briefs and belt +50kg chain. Weights below are bar weight only

190kg x2
230kg x2
250kg x2
270kg x2
290kg x2

Speed pulls no belt 

180kg + chain 8x1

Reverse hypers 

41" mini band + 30kg 3x8
60kg (no band) 3x8

Glute ham raises bw only 4x12

Sled pulls 60kg of plate

3 x approx 100 yards walking backwards
2 x approx 100 yards squatting sideways

After a slow start this turned out to be a good session. Our box squatting can only get better. Seeing as we have never done it I think we are gonna see huge benefits for our hip, hamstring and glute strength.

Thanks for reading
