Off-Season - Week 1 - Squats (Video) & Deadlifts

This session went pretty good. The squats felt good, but were pretty light. I did start to feel fatigued during the pause squats though. This session wrecked me as well. Not doing anything since the comp and then hitting this volume was rough.

Squat

8 sets of 1 @ 340

Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time back squatting and bench pressing for a change. For strongman my staples were front squats and incline bench (for various reasons). It's been 3-4 years since I've back squatted or benched press with any consistency at all. I'm planning to do a powerlifting meet this spring. Today I was just working on my technique and getting some work in. Back squats, pause squats, deadlifts and snatch grip RDLs. #powerlifting #strongman #squat #backsquat #genesisstrengthandfitness #monolift #butistillwalkitout #walkitout #ididntpickthemusic #headphonesin #1stphorm #elitefts #lululemon #lululemonmen #pendlay #dadbod
