I am working over the Easter weekend. Yesterday, waiting for the next case I was browsing the Net and came across couple of articles on box squat. It turned out I missed out on something very interesting. Apparently box squat is a very useful exercise: it allows you to improve your squat while working with lower weight and causes less muscle soreness. For those interested here are couple of links, both by the Maestro Louie Simmonds.

So today at the gym I did the following

Box BB squats:
60 kg x 3 x 6 sets

Wanted to do more but the back started playing up.

Wingate interval protocol:
Stationary bike
4 intervals of 30 sec, rest 3-4 minutes
Though getting better, still absolutely fried at the end.
