Basebuilding Squat Model 1 is always interesting.

It’s just a lot of work in a little bit of time. You’d think 5×5 may not be much, but when you have to crank to get the work within a time limit, and push as hard as you can all the way through (C.A.T.) oh yea, it’s work.

I went ahead and opted to keep that same pace throughout: about 1 minute rest between everything. That was enough. By the time I got to lunges I could tell my work capacity had decreased some, so it’ll take me a little bit to get back up there.

For the record, I’m experimenting with lunge stride. Today I kept the stride fairly short.

Oh, and I opted to have no knee sleeves nor belt. We’ll see how that goes for me.
