Squats!

Ah, this workout made my day take a huge turn for the better! It's the lift I've been struggling with all year, but I think things are finally coming together such that we can actually start doing some WORK.

Main work set: 3 x 5 x 75

Narrow-stance: 3 x 12 x 45

Dumbbell hamstring curls: 2 x 20 x 37.5

Hip thrusts with barbell and band: 3 x 10

Bulgarian split squats: 2 x 20 on each side (skipped third set as we'd already gone long and I still needed to ride home)

It is amazing, the technique stuff just seems suddenly to have fallen into place: my back stays arched, I'm going low enough, etc. etc. The wide grip with no thumbs is very helpful.
