Legs

Back squats to 4 risers: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
135, 155, 175, 185, 185 (2)

======

Bulgarian split squats 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 per leg
95, 115, 125, 125, 130 (3)

That's a slight improvement on last month.

======

100 front squats @ 95 (to 5 risers)
Time = 13:43

I've done 50 reps @ 105 before, but today I wanted to go for speed rather than a heavier weight. Just saw my shoulders/pecs when I changed after my workout. I now have a big red bruise on each side where the bar was resting!

======

For time:
50 x leg extensions @ 95
10 x jump squats during breaks and at the end
Time = 4:57

The last time I did this I finished in 5:48. The sets today broke down as 15-7-10-10-8.

Nice job for going after a 100 squat routine, they certainly do suck.

Thanks. If I'd done my usual scaling - i.e. 75% of the weight you use - I would have used at least 100lb (I think you did it with 135lb?) but I was going for quick reps. Most of the sets were between 8-10 reps; the last few sets were 6 reps.

yup, you actually did a back squat version of this but I believe it was with 140 pounds, I recall your time being around 16 minutes.
