Back Squat

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3

Warm up with a goat. Really focus on form with this one. Make sure you are going deep enough and keep you head and chest up. Here is a good discussion on the use of a box to work on your back squat form.

245, 245, 225 (box squat) x 3 sets

Tried the box squat technique and thought it was really good for working your form and also developing those muscles that give you power at the bottom of the squat. Plan on having to reduce your normal weight for back squat by 20lbs if you are going to do box squats.

Went up to 225 and felt okay...dropped back down to 205 and did box squats really focusing on form. Some of the points of performance to really think about on this lift are head up, chest up, drive from your heals. Once you are on the box don't rock just try and keep everything tight and stand up. If you have good form, the box won't make much difference. If you don't this will be a significant emotional event.
