Title: half squat session today

my back is a big weak link in handling this weight. I know I had 2 more reps for the 265lbs but it seems my back can't hold the weight up.

I got some VS athletics weigthtlifting shoes coming soon so I don't have to rely on those 10 lbs plates anymore.

I'm going to try to get more of my training and dunking on camera in the upcoming months as a way to help monitor progress and get better feedback from you guys.

it's nothing impressive just me trying to get stronger or better yet, attain the ability to jump and hit my head on the rim.... squat or dunk my two training options

also not shown is my first cluster rep due to my accidental editing

Nice work man. For the lower back weakness, you could do a few things. Personally I would try more reps at lower weight for awhile before you try 325 again, and/or core stabilisation exercises (planking and glute bridges etc). Keep it up!

Thanks, yeah I was thinking going back to working up to a max like I did then do a set of 20 rep breathing squats at a lighter weight. I remember those helped strengthen my back alot. I also might incorporate good mornings. I appreciate the advice

I also think a set of 15-20 reps for pretty much anything after a heavy workout could help increasing the blood flow in those worked areas and thus help recovery and the uptake of built-up lactic acid there. So I sometimes do them at the end for recovery purposes as well.

I think I'm going to have a half squat session one day and a full squat session the other day to also help save lower back stress.. I think these will complement each other well

Yeah because in a half squat workout you'll use a ligther weight. Oh wait...

No, but in a full squat lighter weight is used, and in a half 20 rep breathing squat lighter weight is used

This compared to two half squat days with heavier weight


And why are you waiting
