Friday, November 11, 2011 - Safety Squat Bar Squats

What a night at the gym. I have never maxed SSB Squats so I decided to do it. NOT the smartest thing but I have never once said I was smart. I worked up to an easy 390 and decided to go for 430. Stupid I know but still I was feeling pretty strong. So that crushed me forward just as the SSB is supposed to do. I dumped 20 pounds off it it and thought I would try that. What does it do? It starts to dump me forward so I try and push backwards and I end up taking a step back and falling backwards dumping 410 pounds on the ground. Not even remotely smart. I'm so glad there wasn't a bunch of people in there as someone could have really gotten hurt. Well, now I know I have a goal to work towards with the SSB, bury 410 and then 430. Looking forward to putting in the work to destroy those numbers.

So then I did volume and speed after that. Not at all the smartest workout but it was fun and I wanted to get under the bar after falling. No way was I going to sit back and not squat after that.

After that Ryan had me do Rowing Annie with him. I must say I really appreciate the motivation especially when it comes to something I wouldn't normally do.

Overall a strange but great night of training. Too bad there wasn't a 6:30 class, I didn't want to leave.
