After more than 2 years of frustration and set backs I have finally found my natural squat stance for the weighted back squat. All I had to do was bring my feet in closer together and there it was. Because of a recurring ligament injury in my lower back I have been limited in the weight I can use but now for the first time in as long as I can remember, I squatted pain free.

Monday
Training:
Push-press 5x3
F.T.G. training:
Alternating arms, perform as many one arm push-ups possible in 20 minutes. Stay tight and modify the push-ups as needed.
Most of this should look very familiar to my athletes.
