Last Heavy Squat Session

In the build up to my competition, I completed my last squat based session yesterday.

I was feeling a little fatigued and ready for my de load period on the run into the competition, but none the less, it ended up being a very good session.

Stretch off.

As you can see, a very simple session.
The box squats are a great addition and teach the body how to fire rapidly "out of the hole" at the very bottom of the squat.

I have my box set so that when I'm sat on it, my hip joint is just below the height of my knee joint, making it perfect practice for legal depth in a competition.

Needless to say, I'm feeling a little tired today, so plenty of stretching, quality food and water is the order of the day.

Thanks for reading.
