Comments: Box squatting just didn't feel right for the first few sets. I'm not very fast (at least I don't feel like I am) on these, even with this light weight. Today was the first day with the new yoke from pitbull strongman equipment. Very sturdy is all I can say. I wanted to get home before the sun went down but that didn't happen so it was night yokin' and farmin' time. Other than the pin setting being too high, not bad as far as speed and feel. Just need to use a lower setting (needs wrenches to adjust it). I knew farmer's would be great after how easy the first set was on the pick. Initially, my plan was 161lbs to start but I don't have too many smaller plates so I just went with a 45lber and 25lber on each end (176lbs). The pick with 326lbs was damn ugly, probably not as bad as last time with 301lbs, but ugly nonetheless. Finished up with light dimel deadlifts. I did them as fast as I could and really emphasized the hip thrust at lockout.
