SQUAT Day

I began today’s workout with firing up my back to avoid any tweaks during Pin Squats. There is still some phantom pain in my right Quad from the injury but it is more of less healed up and I am attacking this from multiple angles. I have introduced free squats (Front) on another training day to get that full stretch at the bottom and so from next workout onwards I am going to begin stacking up the weights on Pin Squats to surpass my old benchmarks. Depth-wise I cannot go lower on this exercise and I am pounding out volume like never before so it is time to increase the intensity bit by bit without compromising too much on volume. I did some PURE Anderson Squats today which are basically bottom-up squats and they were very exciting. There is some finesse required in setting up correctly – getting under the bar but after that it boils down to pure brute strength. I am going to keep after these because I think I can get to something big.
