Russian Squat Routine THE END

Last Day

Sorry I missed posting the last 2 updates. Busy with a few nights out and some work on the house.

ONE REP MAX TEST
Did 3 separate 96kgs squats to warm up, made sure they were nice and deep to test the legs. No problems.

2 minutes rest.

Feeling good I went for 120kgs must have put it altogether correctly as this went back up fairly easy.

3 minute rest.

Added more coal now at 130 kgs. The bar went a shaking slowly up there. Now that did make my face go red. I am happy with that squat and no injury and my eyes had not popped out of my head.

Started to think I should leave it alone now but you know guys are real stupid so on goes 140 kgs.

3 minute rest.

At the bar I did start to think about a crash and burn on this. So I walked away. Found Rammstein Feuer Frei banged it on the nu metal player and put the hammer to the floor. Cursed myself for being a wimp. Took to the bar again after about 5 minute rest altogether, sucked in the big breaths walked out and banged it out, red face, shaking legs and a big fat swear to help get it back to the rack.

The last attempt was at 144kgs which plummeted to the safety stops like a rocket despite my attempts to stop it. That made we feel a little light headed. But then that is what the safety stops are for!

So total for Russian squat program was 140kgs. Not quite up to a Double Bodyweight Squat. But I got through it injury free. My elbows, legs and knees are sore but all still doing what they should do.

I must admit I am looking forward to a short spell off squats.

That Russian Squat program is mentally taxing, very f**king hard physically. To get through it I needed to up the game. The squat technique needs to be spot one or you will just bounce of the stops.
Little things make a big difference such as Breathing as you walk out, breathing as you set in the squat, pulling the bar apart, head in the right position, the right nu metal music on the nu metal music player and PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) You doubt that bar will go back up for a second and you will get slammed big style.

The final vedict...
