Digg Deep: Back Squats

Back Squats

3-3-3-3-3 back squats.
315, 325, 325, 335 (fail after 2 reps) 335 (fail after 2 reps).
The nice thing about this one is that I went in with a little less than full intensity and having had done angie only 10 hours prior, but still got a PR. My hips were sore from 100 squats, so there was potential for an even higher number with full rest.
My previous PR had been 315, so I was pretty pleased with the increase by 10 pounds.
Lets see Jason beat that one :-)

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
