4 sets of 5 @ 60kg with a pause (on the way down in the first set, on the way up in the other 3). Objective was to refine my form/posture. Quite pleased overall. #BackSquats

Trainer didn’t have her phone with her today so connected mine to the portable speaker.

Yes, I was doing #BackSquats to the #RevolutionaryGirlUtena OST.

I regret nothing.

👉 What are the benefits of Back Squats? 🏋️

—

✅ While primarily targeting the legs and glutes, back
squats engage the core, lower back, and even
the upper body for stabilization.

✅ Squats mimic everyday movements, improving
functional strength and mobility, which can enhance
performance in daily activities and other sports.

My #crossfit box does bi-annual testing moments, when the same type of workouts come back so you can see how you've progressed.

Today was a strength test, with a focus on #deadlift, #strictPress and #backSquats

* 1 rep max Back Squat in 15'
* 1 rep max Strict Press in 15'
* 1 rep max Deadlift in 15'

In all three I've progressed significantly :D and scored new 1 rep max #pr's on all

* Backsquats topped out at 87kg today, from 50kg +- a year ago

* Strict presses went from 20kg to 39kg

* Deadlifts went from 60kg to a whopping 123kg. Insane :D
