Lower @ Healthy Baller
Last time I squatted was April 19th, so three months squat free, at least with any kind of bar (I did do atlas stone box squats regularly while I was at Brute). My reasoning for this was to get more work on deadlifting from 14" and work on car deadlifting, both to specialize my strength for USS nationals - which turned out to be a good choice. More on that soon when I finish up writing out my programming and rationale of my training leading up to wining nationals a couple weeks ago. I added squats back in because the car DL at World's is side handle and doing a side handle car DL is very similar to doing a high box, close stance box squat with a safety squat bar. I added in the chains just for poops and grins.
Chain SS Yoke Bar High Box Squats (2 sets of chains)

10x70 - Add chains
6x160
6x250
6x300
6x320
6x340

I was starting to round my low back a lot on the last set so that was my cue to exit stage left.

10x140
10x250
10x340
2x10x430
Doing these to work on both my picks for frame carry and side handle car DL.

My hamhocks and abs were both cramping pretty badly so 2 sets instead of 3 today.

10ea x 20kg/25x245
I had the choice of doing conditioning or all my assistance work today due to having to finish up and get ready for work so I chose accessory work since I have already gotten in one tabata this week and I'll be conditioning again for sure on Event Day.
