Holy hamstring pump, Batman. That 20-rep GHR after the wide stance boxsquats really torched them. Wrapped my knees in a new style starting slightly higher on my shin & with an X included over the front instead of a pure straight wrap - instantly felt stronger on the first wrap. Less material wasted, more covering the actual kneecap. Also implemented a lifting strap to pull the tag through - much more consistent than using my fingers, got the final wrap much tighter, definitely more secure, better “tag”.
Today was the best squat of this meso - cold appears to have been kicked, and I squat 8 reps with 5 more lbs, better technique, better wrap, applied more consistently, at a lower RPE (9) & bodyweight, without using ammonia.
Wife also pulled 335 on an axle, with a tad more in the tank - she’s looking strong for the Arnold!
