Congrats, but, um...pr's on speed day? For weight? I'm confused...

when i say pr i just mean like pr singles...not maxes or anything
just the most weight i've done for a speed single

I like to take a 1 or 2 pretty heavy singles every few weeks


bad idea?

nope...never thought about that. I go by feel if that makes any sense. I dont usually have a lifting partner on squat day so it makes it nearly impossible to time myself acurately

got any form critque for me lady spatts?

 

[spatts]

Oh, gotcha.

Have you ever timed for speed improvement? With the same weight/tension?

 

[t3c]

damn it...how do i fix the quad thing?

just get stronger hammies i guess?

 

[spatts]

You're rocking forward and using your quads, but you are doing a MUCH better job of keeping your back tight! I can tell it's a weight thing because you don't do the rocking thing in the lighter set.

I asked about timing because I was thinking about doing it for fun...I go by feel too. I wake up one Saturday and suddenly a weight that used to feel opressive is feeling bouncy...then I know it's time to move up.

 

[t3c]

no i have not...i will try that next week...well the week after. Contest next week

 

[spatts]

Yep....hips and hams. Have you ever tried box squatting with a mini doubled around your knees?

 

[t3c]

gotcha...sounds good to me spatts thanks alot

nothing wrong with the speed sets?
