5/1 – Paused ATG Squats

Finally getting back under the bar after nearly a month off of squats. Nothing crazy today – just easing into it with some paused atg squats. I stopped at 5 reps with 405 since that is about when I felt I had to start trying, and I did not really want to push my knee too much. Switched things up with shrugs and did static holds at the top of each rep for 5+ seconds – pretty brutal on the traps.
