Training Log: Entry 2340

AM WORKOUT

Buffalo bar squat 275lbs
10x10

Dips
1x60

Pull aparts
1x60

Notes: Hit the goal I had at the start here, and that was the RX weight for the squats with the 2 minutes rest between sets.  In fairness, it was 273lbs with a 50lb buffalo bar, but ALSO in fairness a buffalo bar actually weighs 52lbs and I just log it as 50lbs for the sake of convenience, so screw everything. 

Did no supersets this workout, because I had a sneaking suspicion that I was using the supersets to rest longer between squats and creating a different training effect.  Having tried both, they both suck in different ways.  The supersets are more exhausting in total, but going straight squat to squat over and over puts some serious congestion in the entire posterior chain.  The latter is technically faster, but once that 10th set was done I spent a LOT more time collapsed on the floor on my back looking up at the ceiling and saying the f-word, so something of a zero sum.  Not much energy left for assistance work after that, at least not within an hour timespan.

Next step is 100 reps in fewer than 10 sets.  See how it goes.

Woke up at 198.8.
