Quad insertions were crying... Did not want to front squat.

Forgot my back off sets! :eek:

RDL (5) 70-110-120
 
I have around 3-4 inches gap between tummy and waistband. :(

Was looking forward to this evening - two days without squatting! Woohoo! :D

But not this bit... My quads are really hurting and my hips are epically tight.

BACK SQUAT

40*3
60*3 Even here my quads and hips were complaining!
100*3

140*2 Smooth but haaaaard.
150*1 Just...
107.5*3
115*3
122.5*3
130*3
137.5*3
80*5*2 Couple of jump squats to vent and that was that. Piriformis will die tonight. By rolling pin.

SNATCH GRIP SLDL 120*5*3 Kill those hamstrings... :mad:

Not bad, considering I have squatted every day this week and had a max test just over seven days ago. We will see how Monday comes around: now it is time to eat. And sleep.
 
Serious question: from where did you get the trousers?

Will take some vids later in the work gym where there are more lycra bunnies doing RDLs is better light and angles...
 
Hamstring was horrifically tight this evening and I couldn't even unrack properly without my left hip hurting... so it looks as though I will have to take a couple more days off. :(

It only took a week for Squat Nemesis to get me! :D

Managed to do triples up to 100kg but my legs just were not in the mood and not willing to play ball. Will rest for a couple more days and see how we go... :(

Spending a whole day in bluewater... I'm not even joking.

I tried over 30 pairs of jeans.

I found some from Next of all places, and Jack Jones.
 
Very tasty front and back squatting mate! We will be 1RM testing next week then I will be moving onto a front squat program (will be the first time I work on front squats in any programmed way before)

Next? Interesting. Will have another look as most places round here cater to the "modern" man... :(

Nice work! Front squats are a lovely lift (I may be biased as I spent most of my formative time on them) until they are done for more reps than 5-8... then they become truly horrific.
 
Feeling hetter today, but still not right.

BACK SQUAT

40*3
70*3
110*3
130*3
140*3
150*1 Had a couple more but my left hamstring decided to make its presence known...


140kg...

 
They are both pulled in quite deliberately for extra quadzilla involvement. :D

Whuch is why the Squat Nemesis rest days of Front Squats are no rest at all! :(
 
Back to 8-6-3 I am afraid: not wanting to spend the time adapting to Nemesis puts a limit on things. :(

BACK SQUAT (8) 125-125-125 No pain during the last set... so much less unpleasant.
SNATCH GRIP RDL (8)/B] 60-100-100-100

Disappointed I couldn't take Squat Nemesis, but using quads for back squats and then front squats five times a week for 1RM and then fifteen reps was too much at this point.
