Start of the second week back

Well Monday you have come around again. Feeling a lot better after last week and ready to start pushing things a bit more. Safety bar squats went well and back to a bit better weight. Top set of 165 + 50kg of band tension. 3 good reps. Front squats were good as well. working on the back a bit more as this was a area towards of last year I could have been stronger in. The heavy physical work at the end of last year probably didn't help. Using the bands for squatting is a bit like tossing the caber in that when you get it right the weight seems to disappear. Need to work on it a lot more but happy with the start. Overall a good workout.

Safety Bar Squats ( 3 x 3 @ 145, 155, and 165 + 50kg of band tension)
Good squats with good speed. Hit depth pretty easy.

Front Squats ( 3 x 6 @ 120)
Felt different with the bands but also good in "Feel"

Bentover Rows ( 4 x 6 @ 90kg)
Good control on all reps and good to feel my back working.

Lat Pulldowns ( 3 x 8 @ 160Lbs)
Nice stretch in the lats.

D/bell Rows ( 3 x 10 @ 45kg)
Good reps could really feel my back working on these. By now back is starting to get a good "worked" feel to it. Not quite a pump but that sort of thing.

Reverse Hypers (3 x 10 @ 70kg) Not filmed
I like how it makes my lower back feel after doing squats and back work. Try not to throw the weight up. Good to be back using this exercise.
