ME Squat

14" (Parallel) Manta Ray Box Squat: 95x5, 125x5, 155x5, 185x5, 215x5, 235x5, 265x5. I got my 5 reps with 265 but it was a struggle. I think I'm starting to get burned out on squats. My gains are slowing down, and it's draining me more. Time to switch up soon.

Arched Back Good Morning: 135x3, 165x3, 195x5, 225x3. I actually dropped 10 lbs over last week. Time to ditch this one, too. One more week. Could also be the harder squat workout. The Manta Ray really hammers your lower back because of how high it places the bar.

Bulgarian Split Squats: 20x10, 30x8x2.

Cable Woodchoppers (Bottom to top): 20x10, 30x10, 40x10
Cable Woodchoppers (Top to Bottom): 20x10, 30x10, 40x10. Felt too beat to even think of more weight.

Standing Calf Raises: 55x10, 70x10, 80x8x2

What are you planning on switching the box squats and GMs to?

Switch now Alberto before you pound yourself into the ground! That's one thing that I really learned about the Bill Starr program.

This week, I only squat once and it's a dynamic day, so I'm safe until Monday, July 3rd which will be my next ME Squat Day. After that, my ME squat movement will be sumo deadlifts followed by a unilateral leg movement. And that's an interesting observation, Jon. Makes me wonder what my goal should be for July 3rd;)
