Week 4 Squats - 1/11/2015

Had a really good weekend.  Friends of ours, Jim Baily and Kelley Denney came over and stayed with us Friday and Saturday night.  They trained on Saturday and we helped a little with their technique.  They are doing very good and we were happy to have them.

We got up Sunday and headed to the gym.  I ate my McDonald's and drank my coffee then we started warming up.  Things felt pretty good and I thought I might have a good day.  The plan was to take my estimated opener then a second and third reverse band.I'm thinking 775 for an opener then 825 for a 5 lbs PR on my second and then who knows for a third.  I have been trying to touch 900+ on my heavy days some kind of way.  I did 900 with light reverse bands a few weeks ago and then 700 bar weight with 200 lbs of band last week.  So, I wanted to push it a little and went 920 with light reverse bands.  The 775 and 825 went smooth with decent depth and my dip was good.  The 920 wasn't as good, I got just a little on my toes at the bottom and where I would normally dip I came up...  But, I want to get acclimated to that kind of weight.  I goal I set awhile back was to squat 1000 by the time I was 40.  Well, today I turn 40...  Its a pretty hefty goal to get to 1000 when your officially only at 820 but I'm gonna give it hell these next 365 days...  

I finished the day with some high rep leg presses and reverse hypers.  Did a couple quick sets of abs and then off to Texas Roadhouse for lunch.
