What's the benefit in doing paused squats?

Ha thanks Jim, considering 340 was my 1RM at the meet last April it sure does feel good, ive put in a lot of effort between then and now to get up to a respectable number

Great stuff, Mark! Yes, your awesome progress has made me realize much more is possible if you set your mind to it. I still think about those Smolov sets you did in wonder.

Rock on.

handy enough day again today , this deload business doesnt suit me!

I hear you. It's definitely not fun times.

[Fazc]

Good squats, very nice Benching too for that volume.

[Kuytrider]

thanks for the kind words mike.
To be honest I don’t think any of the work I did while on smolov is beyond anyone who is prepared to work hard.
I hope to have another run at it next year!

Some cardio work!


Notes
Ran out of time , still some ok work done.

Enough messing around , next week its back to business and more hard work

[Squatter]

Haha - an almost 300 lb bench is not too shabby for messing around.

You sure have progressed alot, all over, this year, and I couldn't be happier for you

[BendtheBar]

I like the back off work. Good reppage.
