Dave identified that my speed off the box while squatting has decreased. I've been working on improving this and banded squats will continue this effort.
box squat - box 1.5" above parallel - wore Metal Ace briefs
bar was set up with 2 average bands per side
worked up to 515 for 4 sets of 2 reps
one band removed for 1 set of 2 reps
515 with no bands for 2 reps
deadlifts
worked up to 585 for a single
The bands were brutal and my 4th double with both bands was challenging. After stripping the bands the 515 moved very quickly. Today was a good day.
