The Daily Squat, Front Squat, Log Press and a hint of Kettlebells
I am only on day three of the Daily Squat Program. So far, so good. Although the real test hasn't even begun yet. My squat of choice today was the front squat, followed by some strongman practice.
One thing I have already noticed is that it is hard to "get up" for the next drill after banging out a tough squat session. I am hoping this passes as I get into better shape. The other option is to squat after a strongman event, but then I think I will miss more squat sessions.
Here is the training session for today. Feel free to substitute clean and press for the log pressing. And remember, front squats are ass to the grass!
