So being the nerd that I am with this kind of stuff, I decided to take your high bar back squat one rep maxes and compare them against your old ones. I wanted to look at how men and women increased separately as well as everyone together. The results are just what I was hoping for but there are some interesting things to point out.
The men increased there 1RM load by an average of 16.5 lb… Wow.
The women increased their 1RM load by an average of 13.75 lb… Still wow.
More interestingly though, the women showed a percent increase of 9.3% compared to the men’s 7.1%. Great job ladies!
All in all, yesterday was a success. I also want to point out a particular highlight of yesterday’s squatting. Heather N. hit a big 205# (up from 185). She has had her eye on getting over the 200 mark for a while. Great job Heather! Hard work pays off.
And now I present to you Adam dressed up like Spiderman..
