Yukon squat drop-set
450 x 8
410 x 5
320 x 8
230 x 10
140 x 10
50 x 10
* Fantastic. Even better than what I put up with the straight bar despite this thing making my back work harder. Moreover, I never used to be able to hit that 405 for more than 3 reps unless it was a triple or single top-set; to do that after 450x8 is just such a big improvement. Really benefitting from the effects of 20-rep squats even if I haven't been doing them "correctly" (weren't breathing squats).

On that note, I finished reading Super Squats the day before yesterday and it was an awesome read I should have done a long time ago. I used the breathing technique for a lot of reps here, which I've never employed before. 

I owe hamstrings and abs later, probably while I train my client, and if I'm feeling really meatheaded I might do a set of 20 breathing squats with something around 300.
