Max effort squats and some grip work

Squats with reverse bands

225 x 6

315 x 5

405 x 3

495 x 1

575 x 1

Wow, that's the first time I've had that much weight on my back.  It wasn't all that bad, taxing but it felt really good.

Grip roller, worked up to a TON of weight, LOL.  Like 5 plates.  Pretty much maxed out on the other grip thingy that I need to learn what to call it.  I'm really enjoying this grip work, and my forearms feel perfect even after holding 575 on my back ( which before I started doing the grip work anything over 445 or so would bother my forearms ).
