As predicted my first true squat session in 4 weeks brought more than a little tightness this morning. Started light and worked to easy 3 sets of 5 for the day. I followed this with 3 sets of front squats, pushed the prowler and finished off with stretching and anterior core work.
Programmed to hit deadlifts on Sunday and really looking forward to it. I am feeling really focused at the moment despite the fact I am not training at my preferred PTC. Perhaps the adversity of making do with less than ideal facilities is firing me up.
On that note again some interesting main stream gym sites last night. Two well meaning guys in the squat rack. Both unrack 60kg with the bar set way to high in the rack, requiring a calf raise to get it out. Then a few wobbly steps out followed by,I shit you not about a 3 inch range of motion. Even more interesting was the lead guy then put on another set of wheels so 100kg was loaded. Again an even more precarious walk out followed by an even more shaky quarter squat, good morning type movement. Really scary shit.
The rest of the session I again just watched almost every guy in the facility working chest and biceps. It is literally a shock to the system to see so many people training aimlessly and definitely not for strength.
On a positive I will be posting an interview I did with Greg Nuckols of Mash Elite Performance. A great guy, strong lifter and someone with a nice lifting career ahead of him. I will probably post the first part of our interview this weekend followed by part 2 early next week.
