Did my squat training today. Last weeks squat training went exceptionally well. I decided that since 2 weeks ago I had an issue with my training belt catching my squat briefs in a weird angle and giving myself a slight bikini wax on the right side of my groin (yes it ripped my pubic hair out and caused some bruising), that I would go raw last week (meaning no squat gear and no training belt). I worked up to a heavy triple with my competition stance and depth (I squat very wide for max attempts where as in training I squat with a narrower stance and go very deep). I easily tripled a weight that I had only doubled previously with a belt and briefs on (I'd say belts and briefs probably add about 20-30 pounds to the amount I can lift on squats).
This week I decided to go back to my training squats and went with a belt but no briefs, narrower stance and very deep. Weight felt really good and everything moved fast.
I followed up my squats with some heavy arched back good mornings 4 sets of 10 reps.
I then hit 2 sets of 10 reps on front squats and then 4 sets of 10 reps on leg extensions.
I called it a day at this. Honestly I get the most out of regular squats and heavy good mornings. The other lifts are just filler stuff that would probably be better served doing more squatting and good mornings.
Today was a low carb day so lots of eggs, ground sirloin, some ham steaks, leafy green salads, and broccoli.
Went shopping last night. Always a fun time carting around cans of tuna, cottage cheese, ground sirloin, fish, protein bars, protein shots, powerade zero, greek yogurt, 5 dozen eggs, a few cartons of liquid egg whites, and skim milk. I feel like a creep.
