The Daily Squat Challenge, Day 16
Today is the 16th day of consecutive squat training sessions. No days off, no days without squatting to a max single. To avoid total break down I have been rotating the types of squats between back squats, front squats, safety bar box squats, and sometimes I mix in bands.
So far it is going pretty well. My knees are a little sore but the weight on the bar keeps creeping up steadily. Also, as I have mentioned before my form has improved dramatically.
If your squat hasn't moved since Saved by the Bell was your favourite after school show, then maybe you should give the Daily Squat Challenge a try.
Here is the training session I did today:
- A1 Safety Bar Low Box Squat
- worked up to a max single
- A2 Chest Supported Machine Rows
- 5 x 6-8
- Tire Flip
- 700lbs tire x 4 x 4
- B1 Push-ups
- 2 x max reps
- B2 Biceps Rows
- 2 x 10
Here is a video demonstrating the safety bar squat. I like this bar because it is easier on the shoulders. Also, the cambered bar forces your posterior chain to work harder, which is the weak point of most athletes.
The biceps row is a great drill to jack up your guns. A lot of people do curls but the front deltoid takes up a lot of the stress. The biceps row removes the delt and forces the biceps to do the work.
