Leg Training - Rehab Squats

29 June 2011

Followed my decision to try squatting five days this week. So today was Day 3. I even managed to add some weight to the bar for real squats, but my hips are still mysteriously stiff, despite doing several minutes of hip stretching.

Full squat barx5, 65x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 145x5, 165x5

High box squat 195x5, 215x5, 245x5, 265x5, 285x5

Again, kept form perfect, avoided forward lean and quit at the slightest sign of pain. This might work.

Seated good mornings bar x 10, 55 lbs. x 2 sets x 10
