#350 Back Squat & Linear Progression Day
Whether your back squat is currently #95 or #295, check out Lauren Brooks’ impressive #350 back squat. Pay close attention to the commitment with which she approaches the bar, the tension she creates under the bar, especially throughout her upper back, and how low she gets. May this inspire you to work hard!

My linear progression consists of the line in which Mai Tai’s reach my face. Aloha!
And something tells me that with each rep, it gets better! Have a good rest of your vacation!
