Plus 1 Format and Back Squats

Today was another favorite: Back squats using the +1 format

Take 45lb bar and do a standard back squat. Once you start, you can not put the bar down. It can rest on your shoulders, cradled in your lap, wherever, it just can not touch the ground or a platform during the rest cycle

First minute 1 squat
Second minute 2 squats
Third 3 squats and so on until you can no longer do the prescribed squats for that minute.

Previous best April 12th with 115 degree Middle east heat: 13 and 6/14ths

Today got 14 flat. Was a humid 102 degrees. Gotta love the south.

Went out for a stroll on the ole bicycle this afternoon. 15 miles in the 100+ degree afternoon finished at 1:02:38. It was so muggy but the N. Augusta greenbelt is such a nice place to bike minus the traffic. Just wish it was a bit closer
