So true isn't it? If you want to get stronger you have to get your squat AND your deadlift on. When I can't choose which to do, I just do both. My back isn't too happy with me after the fact, but I have learned to ignore silly things like constant soreness and discomfort long ago. Remember, the athlete that gets the strongest is the one who can endure the most pain!

Speaking of pain, today was only day 5 into the Daily Squat Challenge after having to reset my streak due to the drunken fiasco on Saturday night. See this post if you want to laugh at me.

Now that I am finally fully recovered my workouts are going well and I feel strong again. But enough about me, are you getting stronger?

If not, a daily dose of squatting with a sprinkle of deadlifts might be just what the doctor ordered. Not your drug pushing doctor of course, but Fred Hatfield might.

Here is the workout I did today, try it out for yourself if you want to get your swole on.

• Low Box Safety Bar Squats
• worked up to a pr and got pinned on the box like a bitch, had to lean forward into the safety racks
• added reverse bands and did the same weight for a triple
• added 50lbs and hit a very hard double
• Fat Bar Deadlifts
• worked up to a tough double
• using a fat bar will make your grip strong as hell, this is great for sports as well as dates with the Palmela sisters
• Reverse Hypers
• 2 x 15
• this is an awesome drill for the posterior chain (muscles in the back that make your ass look sweet) and it decompresses the spine at the same time
