ME squats with safety squat bar

I decided to mix it up a little and squat with the SSB ( man, it kicks my butt )

Raw squats, ie no suit, with SSB ( here I'm assuming the bar weighs 45 pounds which it does NOT )

Bar x 10
Bar x 10
135 x 6
225 x 3
275 x 2
275 x 1
295 x 1
315 x 1
275 x 1
225 x 1

I then did 3 sets with the SSB with chains.  I'm kind of too tall for the chains, and I need more weight at the bottom to get down, lol.  Not sure if these were useful or not.

4 sets on leg press machine

4 sets of pull throughs.

Overall not a bad workout.  Even though the SSB is HARD, I think I'm getting to parallel ( or at least a whole lot closer than last week ).  I think last week, I just skied too much the day before and it effected my flexibility.  The video below wasn't my best rep ( my computer died and couldn't video all my sets )
