032209 -- ME Squat Day

Continuing Band Squat cycle. First ME Band Squat routine in over a year.

Thursday were DE Band Squats. Probably more intense than planned as I was settling on band tension setup. Used light bands around rack base for ten sets and then tried bands around rack base plus DB for a half dozen sets.
Planning on using the former band setup with DE for a few weeks and then increasing for a few more with the latter. Then into Cica Max portion of cycle.

For ME Band Squats I will start with light bands around the base plus a DB. I will progress to average bands as appropriate.
