Hi!
I have always been fond of ass to grass squat, but in my understanding of the Gospel of Mark, this practice is not optimally effective. I am trying to correct that and I would like to know how I am doing:
Before (low): Low squat, 3 X 5 @ 80 lbs, 7 Jan 21 - YouTube
Now (higher, feels very high but looks a bit low): Higher squat, 5 X 3 @ 122.5 lbs, 13 Feb 21 - YouTube
Background: 39 year old female, 113 lbs, week 8 of SS NLP:
Squat - 5 X 3 @ 122.5 lbs
Press - 3 X 5 @ 59 lbs
Deadlift - 5 X 3 @ 135 lbs - moved to triples to bypass grip limitations (it seems early to rely on straps already)
Bench - 3 X 5 @ 85 lbs (failed subsequent attempt for 3 X 5 @ 87.5 lbs)
