Back to box squats

- Seated DB Press: 66/145 x 8, 60/132 x 12
- 12” Box Squat: 130/286 x 6, 120/264 x 8
- Steep Incline CGB: 60/132 x 8,8
- Weighted Chin: 25/55 x 8,6
- Prowler: 10 x 20m trips with 180lbs in 10:00

I did some AM steady-state this morning and will continue to do so over the next month to accelerate fat loss a bit more. I won’t bother logging it as it will be a given.

Seated DB press felt great.

I decided to box squat today so that my knee could have some time to recover. I also realised that if I can box squat without knee pain, then I should just box squat most of the time, especially if I end up playing football next year. I just can’t see any reason to continue fucking my knee up and most probably causing long term damage to my body. Obviously I understand that regular squats are superior for both general strength/mass and athleticism, however given my knee issues, box squats seem to be a perfectly suitable substitute that will still allow me to get stronger and carry over to athletic endeavours, ie football.

I am starting to get the hang of the steep incline close grip. Triceps were smoked after it.

I’m pretty sure the weighted chins were some kind of PR, I don’t think I have ever done that weight for that many reps.
