27 May Ken Whetham: First time squatting 1K in training
I didn’t feel the greatest training this weekend, I caught some type of bug but managed to salvage a training session that has given me confidence moving forward.
It wasn’t the greatest start to my day. I knew I was supposed to have a heavy squat session today and I woke up with some severe chest congestion and head cold. I took some decongestant, did a ten minute walk and started my McGill warm-ups.
I started to get a sweat on, and headed into the bathroom to relocate my breakfast into the toilet dispensary. Needless to say I was a little concerned about my session but I thought I would see how it went.
McGill carries/McGill Warm-up
Beltsquat:
290 x 10/10
380 x 10/10
Barbell Squat with Mastadon
345 x 3 (Predator Briefs)
435 x 2
525 x 2
615 x 1
705 x 1 (Add Ultra Leviathan Pro)
795 x 1
Our plan was to do 900/950/1005 Reverse Bands today:
I wasn’t feeling close to 100% so I decided to try 905 with Mini bands and see how it felt.
It felt OK.
I decided to go to 1005 with the reverse average bands to get a feel for the weight and see how it felt.
It felt pretty good and moved OK so I was happy that I was able to squat 1K with reverse bands when I wasn’t feeling close to 100% today.
That was it, I shut it down.
