Today was to be a deadlift day to see where things sit but it seemed like a good time to do the box squat challenge in tribute to a online friend " Coach" RIP John... I have never done box squats before so I used the warm up sets to get the feel of how they go. and then I got some deadlifting in...
Box Squats - After 7 sets I started to feel these in the legs and by set 12 I was happy to be done. I do think there is a place for these in a training program and I will definitely be considering them in the future.
Deadlifts - After the box squats some fatigue set in and hopes of a new PR went out the window. That was not a big deal though. I just need to get the work in. Rack pulls the other day showed the top of my deadlift is fine but I still have issues with the bottom of the lift. For the next few weeks I am going to work the bottom of my deadlift using paused lifts and lifts to the knees from a deficit. That should help get the back stretched out and get my lift moving.
