It's been a while since I safety bar squats so I decided it was time. I used it a lot more over the years than I do now and the reason for that is my back is no longer a weak point. I put it in just to test to make sure my back strength has not regressed.

 

box squats with SS Yoke bar - box 1" above parallel

worked up doing doubles to 600 for a single

600 for 2 reps

600 for 3 reps

600 for 4 reps

 

block pulls - bar placement was just below the knee

worked up to 585 for 3 singles

 

GHR

bodyweight for 4 sets of 12 reps

 

Squats felt good and I'm planning on getting back in my briefs soon.
