Reverse Band Squats 570
3x5

Notes: Used wraps on the last set. Big mistake. I can see the value in a heavy single, but not in a heavy set of 5. Lost all feeling in my legs and almost passed out. More than likely need to work on wrap technique as well, I think I started too low on my legs.

Notes: All assistance work is a little lower after just coming back to it from the commercial gym.  Focusing on a higher swing/more pop on the KB swings.

Squat 470
3,2,1

Notes: Spent 10 hours walking around disneyland yesterday and still smashed this. Hitting a sticking point at midway but still able to power through it. This was my competition max for a triple (rounding down from 474), without wraps. Can't wait to see what I can do on gameday with wraps.

Deadlifts 425
1x12

Notes: First time pulling without a texas deadlift bar in a while.  Was able to get more leg drive with the stiffer bar, but slightly harder to grip due to the increased thickness.  Was concerned that my deadlift bar training wouldn't have great carryover, but I'm not worried at this point.

Notes: Knees tracked forward on second squat, but I was able to recover and hit the rep. Otherwise, felt like a million bucks. Bar feels heavy on my back for some reason. Training at a commercial gym at present, making due with what I got.

Notes: Was being goofy on the first set and wore a neck harness with 35lbs to help with staying upright,  Never bothered to consider how that would add 35 extra pounds to the set, but still smashed it,

Reverse band squats 555

Notes: Broke out my new knee sleeves for some intentional overtraining. A little harder to hit depth, but a lot more secure. I seem to be sitting back more the down now, which is a positive.

KB swingthroughs (KB+miniband
50

Notes: Thread miniband through KB handle, stick other end of band under squat box, pace away 1 garage tile (about 3-4 feet) and perform a combination KB swing/band pull through.  Great way to add resistance without using a heavier bell
