What's up Steemians?
Well, here we are. Squat day!
Going into this workout I was nervous and excited. This second time going through the program has proven to be a heck of a lot more challenging. I'm really having to push myself so it's exciting even if I fail or have a bad workout because I know this is the hardest I've had to try so far.
Warm up.
Tarick picked the warm up, it was fun!
Tarick was really tryina make me move quick lol.
Ok, moment of truth..
Working sets.
2 reps!
We made it y'all! The second rep was pretty tough. On the way up it really tried to stick but I wasn't about to pull the same crap as last week, so I dug deep.
Tarick cranked out 6 😵 one more than last week! I can't wait to see what this guy squats on pr day, dang!
Accessory.
Since we've never tried for a front squat PR, we just kinda picked weights we thought would be challenging.
Maybe we should front squat PR after the program 🤔
Conditioning.
Tarick picked our conditioning last week, I put this one together. We're gonna start trading who picked it each week. Should get us both trying new things, I hope.
Also, I decided to do a couple hundred double unders after the conditioning. Gotta keep grinding away to get more consistent with them.
Ok so I put the conditioning portion at the beginning of the video because the song was about one minute shorter than the whole video, so I figured the front squats don't need music. I didn't realize the program would automatically restart the song, and I couldn't find a way to switch that off so, yeah haha.
I'm doing all of this on my phone so there are bound to be some editing issues from time to time, oh well.
Last order of business, as usual.
478 reps for today.

Ok have a great night guys!
Squats are my favorite!!! Idk why but something about lifting all that weight with just your leg strength is very satisfying.

Squats are my favorite too, I just wish my squat numbers were closer to my deadlift numbers! But when I'm not following this program I squat twice a week because they're so satisfying!

Yes!! I actually wish my deadlift numbers were as good as my squats haha. Those two are honestly my favorite things to do, I'm able to do way more on squats but am definitely pushing deadlifts. I think what gets me is my grip strength, so I'm definitely working on that too.

I need to find a good spot in my garage for handstand push ups for sure. I'm planning on getting an airbike here pretty soon so I'll definitely be throwing that into the workouts as well.

Solid all around. I need to do myself a favor and get my ass into the gym to do some of those exercises. I'm almost ready to leave the nest of my apartment, but need to get good earplugs to keep Miley Cyrus out of my ears at my gym.
Even more solid sock choice.
