11 Weeks fromXPC Finals @ The Arnold Classic

Saturday was the 2nd week in the heavy band tension phase of squatting to work on speed. Last week was 195+2 Average Bands and a Light Band per side; and this week we bumped up to 225, then Matt had me bump up the band tension to 3 Average Bands; finishing with 3 average bands and a light per side (was really tough). Had a few sets where I got loose and out of position or didn't sit back on the box enough, but ended on a good note. Next week is the final one of this wave and the weight will increase to 275lbs.
