Finally back to progressing on #MaxEffort #HackenschmidtSquats, here for 75, 85, and the 92.5 PR, which seemed easy enough, but I still couldn't quite manage 95 after that. Then it was 70x2x9 backdowns, which matches my best set from December, but twice in this case.
#MaxEffort #HackenschmidtSquats here for 70, 80, and the 90 PR. Not sure quite what was going on with these backdowns of 70x3, then 6, and then, since I could not leave it that way, I pulled myself together and managed to at least match my last best of 70x8.
#MaxEffort #HackenschmidtSquats for 65, 75, a PR of 80, and then another for 85, because fuck you, that's why. Then it was 65x2x8 on the backdowns.
Quite the great leap forward here. I think cracking 95 by year's end may well be in the cards.
#MaxEffortMethod #HackenschmidtSquats for 65 and 77.5 with a failed 80 attempt and backdowns of 60x2x6. Thinking it was a good call to start microloading this; next time I'm going for 70 and 80.
No nominal progress on the top-end of this #MaxEffortMethod #HackenschmidtSquats session, but better rep speed and quality on that 65 and 75 (did attempt 85 and 80, but got stuck a thirdish of the way up). Backdown was with 55x2x8 this time.
Tried #MaxEffortMethod on #HackenschmidtSquats (the style of #squats pioneered by George Hackenschmidt). Wasn't prepared for quite how difficult these are off the floor, but it seemed the proper way for max effort, or really in general. Did 65 and 75 and then backed off two sets of 45 up to 14 reps.
