Banded Box Squats!

For the record, last Wednesday, I did a failed 435 DL attempt, a failed (and nearly locked out) 425 attempt, and on Friday, I did chained bench. Nothing major.

Today, I got a handful of exercises in.. in particular, what felt to me like a dynamic effort day (surprisingly):

Banded Box Squats:
1x5 135lbs + Light Bands
1x5 225lbs + Light Bands
3x5 275lbs + Light Bands

Then I took one of my connector chains, hooked it up to the Smith machine, hung a Double-D grip from it, and did foot-elevated inverted rows close-grip (stolen from DeFranco's site), then proceeded to figure out that this is a MUCH easier (technically speaking) and MUCH more difficult (muscularly speaking) way to perform unilateral gliders.
