Low Bar Squat - Reverse Bands

Picked up some giant elastic bands to try out.

The green bands are supposed to have a resistance of 65 lb, but two of them couldn't even hold up an empty bar. The black band has a resistance rating of 100 lb.

I tried to set them up in a way so that the bands would offer as little assistance as possible.

    • Green bands.
  • 550 lb: 1
    • Black bands.

    • First set: slipped on the 2nd rep
    • Second set: re-racked the bar. The 2nd rep was tough and I was pretty sure that I couldn't get the 3rd rep.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
