I also really like paused squats - awesome sesh there Alan!

You start to feel that lower back during the squats, or just residual fatigue from deadlift day?

Just some fatigue from deadlift day – which funny enough was gone by the end of todays session

Personally, I think other than actually squatting, front squats and pause squats are the best squat builders. Raw, of course. Glad they work without any knee troubles.

Notes
Weights went well today , unfortunately might need to find a new gym.
Apparently the one I train in now is not powerlifter friendly anymore…..
Not good.
Maybe a home gym is on the cards….will need to consult the boss ( i.e the wife)
We will see…

Nice sessions. I'm a fan of pause squats, help staying tight and teaches you to grind through that rough patch.

Nice volume on the pulls and fingers crossed with the home gym.

[Squatter]

What's the deal with gyms these days? Brute had an issue where management did not want him to deadlift due to the noise. At any rate, I hope you can sort it out Alan. When I built the JimGym, the monthly payments were less than my old gym membership, so in asense it paid for itself after 4 years. It's also funny how the Crew gym has better equipemnt than a commercial gym and it costs way less. It's used by sports teams, personal trainers, and the Crew. There is not even a sign outside the warehouse it is located in. Maybe you can find somethiong similar in your area.

Nice looking session there as well!

Hopefully Boss agrees to you ... These commercial gyms sucks ... I got thrown out from my last gym for reason that Me and my partner lift too much wts. and others get intimated by that WTF ... I do hope that this get sorted out sooner ...
