What's your strategy for Speed Squats ? Are you working on coming out of the hole? So - you lower yourself with a normal two count tempo down to the box - wait a second - then explode up as fast as you can ?? I've never done them ....Please enlighten me ![]()

I could never explain it as well as Dave Tate of the Westside Barbell Club. This is his description.
"Box Squat: The benefits of this exercise are numerous. It develops eccentric and concentric power by breaking the eccentric-concentric chain. Box squats are a form of overload and isolation. The box squat is the best way to teach proper form of the squat because it is easy to sit way back while pushing your knees out. To take the bar out of the rack, the hands must be evenly placed on the bar. Secure the bar on the back where it feels the most comfortable. To lift the bar out of the rack, one must push evenly with the legs, arch the back, push your abs out against the belt, and lift the chest up while driving the head back. A high chest will ensure the bar rests as far back as possible. Slide one-foot back then the other, to assume a position to squat. Set your feet up in a wide-stance position. Point your toes straight ahead or slightly outward. Also keep your elbows pulled under the bar. When ready for the decent, make sure to keep the same arched back position. Pull your shoulders together and push your abs out. To begin the decent, push your hips back first. As you sit back, push your knees out to the sides to ensure maximum hip involvement. Once you reach the box, you need to sit on the box and release the hip flexors. Keep the back arched and abs pushed out while driving your knees out to the side. To begin the ascent, push out on the belt, arch the back as much as possible, and drive the head, chest, and shoulders to the rear. Keep in mind, if you push with the legs first, your buttocks will raise first, forcing the bar over the knees, as in a good morning, causing stress to the lower back and knees and diminishing the power of the squat." Some more good advice from MuscleTalk. "Box squats are used to help develop power through the bottom of the squat and dead. This is one of the most common sticking points and the use of variable height boxes enables the athlete to gradually increase their power through the lift. Box squats are done in sets of two repetitions anywhere between 8-12 sets. The percentages of your maximum effort should decide your set volume. Using 45% for 12 sets of 2 reps and up to 65% for 8 sets of 2 reps. A mid point could be 10 sets at 55% of your one rep max (1RM). Resting time between sets is limited to 45-60 seconds to keep the speed up." |

Hey JD. Looking good!
No experimental benching I see! I may have messed up my arm again too. I'll know in a few w/o's LOL.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Thursday, September 9th
Powerwalk for 46:34. Got caught in a driving rainstorm, was sort of fun .Tomorrow I see a orthopedic doctor about the elbow/forearm. I sort of doubt he'll suggest anything different then I'm already doing, but I'll relay what happened and where I'm at now. See what they suggest. |

Didn't get great news from my trip to the orthopedic doc. To make a long story short.... severely strained ligament. X-rays showed some arthritis, and a couple of small bone fragments. No push type movements for 4 more weeks. If it is still not better by then, he'll refer me to physical therapy. He DID say, I could do light pull movements and slowly increase them with no pain. Of course legs are ok. He also mentioned 'at your age' this could very well be a chronic problem. Fuck...

Awesome PB, and new job! You'll get used to training that early in the morning and learn to love it!
Crappy news about the arm though. I have to ask though, is this an ortho doc or sports doc?
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Saturday, September 11th
It's hard to even type "September 11th" without flashing back to that awful day.... Another Powerwalk. 45:54 minutes which is the fastest I've walked this course. Spent about 3 hours in the mall... that must account for something . |

Sunday, September 12th
Since the doc gave me the ok to do pull and lower body movements, I decided to try some pull exercises for the first time in 3 weeks. Deadlift 135 x 8 185 x 5 225 x 5 275 x 3 325 x 1 375 x 1 PR That was sweet. Just proves the Westside theory works. Haven't done any back work in close to a month. Only squats, box squats, good mornings, weighted hypers, SLDL's, spread eagle situps, crunches, etc. Still managed a PR in deadlift. Front Pulldowns 60 x 15 90 x 15 105 x 15 120 x 15 Very careful here. Paranoid about re-injuring the elbow. Felt fine. Alt DB Curls 10's x 15 (felt like a real stud here) 15's x 15 20's x 15 25's x 15 This was the one exercise the doc mentioned specifically that I should do to help re-hab the area. Believe it or not, it was the only one that caused discomfort. Think I'll drop it for now. Crunches 50, 55, 60 |
