goblet squats

The goblet squat, if you listen to Dan John, is the best way to improve your squatting technique. For me, it was the best way to test out my core strength and the ability of my back to resume work after some time off.

2-7-11
-6x10 goblet squats (54lbs db)
-6x10 sec weighted bent arm hang (69lbs)
-4x10 dips

It was an important test. If I couldn't manage goblet squats with this weight, it would mean I really screwed up my back. Passed. Proceeding with caution. I'm also happy that I'm feeling no pain in the elbows since I increased the weight on chin-ups and bent arm hangs.
