Squat Training - November 28


Had a very good day on the Squats. Not sure if it was just one of those days or all the calories I ingested over the past several...but regardless, felt strong.

I continue to use a wider stance, even when squatting raw. This will train my hips and improve flexibility. I am just at parallel at the bottom and need to loosen the hips to sink deeper. If I can do this with a wider stance, I am guaranteed to hit a personal best at my next meet. Good times.
