Been reading a little bit of Louie Simmons lately. The one thing that I took away from the few articles I read was his emphasis on box squats. Considering he is the DUDE when it comes to powerlifting and coaching powerlifters, I decided to dabble a bit in box squatting.
Now, after watching my video back, and re-watching some of Louie's youtube videos, I recognized that I have a few things to clean up with my technique and such, but what the heck, its a start.
In my reading of Louie, the majority of work on a day like mine today is done in the range of 50-70% of 1RM. Focusing on exloding out of the hole, fast and with speed. I will definitely work on that a little next time :)
Workout consisted of:
8 sets of 2 of 58% of my 1RM (275lbs.) (I actually did 10 sets because I forgot to record the first 2 )
Zercher Squats: 3 sets of 6 reps
Then my kids woke up
