Box Squats – Week 1

Box Squats: 3×5@315/143
Pull Throughs: 3×10@130/59
GHR: 3×8@bw
Abs: 3×10@122.5/56

I did my work sets of box squats with three different stances. Starting with narrow(shoulder width), then my competition stance, and last was extra wide which was about 5 inches wider than my comp stance. I found that the wider I got the easier they got. Narrow stance was really tough on my quads and really wide left my hips feeling abused. I’m going to try working all stances.
My hammies were still sore from tuesday’s SLDLs so I knew pull throughs and GHRs would be an adventure and I wasn’t wrong. The pull throughs were easy enough as I kept the weight low but the GHRs were really tough.

    If a really wide stance produced higher weights, would you consider going to it? I know the CPU doesn’t allow briefs which would really help you hips in this regard.

    I like my current stance, my suit seems to like it was well. I’m not sure I could keep my knees out as well in my suit with a wider stance.
