Super Squats: More Tweeks, more weight.

I have to admit I was quite impressed with Rich's new Squat PR. After my second warm up set, which was 185 x 5, I was feeling pretty strong. I remembered my own words to Rich about "only 20 lbs". So I slapped on a 10 on each side and had at it. Here's how it went:

Squat
135 x 7
185 x 5
205 x 20

I rounded off legs with Standing Calf Raises, and Lying Leg Curls, then about 10 minutes of stretching.

I have still been tweaking the upper-body portion of the workout a little. The result is sort of a combination of my first two ideas. I decided to do all core compound movements on the 3 supersquat days, and still have my fun weekend Arm-day. After my stretching, I did Incline Bench, Barbell Row, Standing Press, and Shrugs. Incline Bench will be alternated with Flat Bench, and Barbell Row will be alternated with Lat Pulldowns every other workout.
