I don't consciously avoid squatting, yet a brief glimpse through my recent workouts shows that I probably don't perform this wonderful movement as often as I should. I'm going with a 'strange, unconscious fear' theory.
In order to rectify this situation I started today's workout with some box squatting (more accurately bench squatting, which will take its place until I have time to construct a box for the purpose). It wasn't until I put a bar on my shoulders that I was reminded of wednesday's Hise shrugs. It's actually the first trap excercise I've done that's prompted any sort of pain the following day. Definitely one to include in future back workouts.
The squatting was followed by some ab and calf work; the calf exercises also being overlooked almost as often as the squat. Not quite sure why, but it's something that's set to change in future sessions.
