The Daily Squat Challenge, 9 days Deep
I squat, because Conan would.
Today was day 9 of the Daily Squat Challenge. To re-cap, I am squatting to a one rep max every single day with no rest days as an experiment in mental toughness and physical resilience.
For the last few days I have been hungry and tired all the time. At the same time, my squat keeps going up and I have already noticed an increase in muscle mass. Specifically in my legs, surprise, surprise, and for some reason my arms.
Anyways, it is way too soon in this experiment to come to any conclusions other than squatting daily is not as fun as it sounds, and it doesn't sound fun at all.
Here is the workout I did today. Really short because the weekend is when I crank up the volume.
- joint circles, hanging, etc
- Dynamic Warm-Up
- empty barbell complex which always consists of over head squats to loosen my hips and groin up
- Safety Bar
Box Squat
- worked up to a max single
- Keg Carries
- for some good old GPP
The safety squat bar is a great tool. It is much more comfortable on your back, and the cambered bar will force your posterior chain to work harder.
