DE squat workout in AF

Today I did dynamic effort box squats at golds in American Fork.   The squatting went as follows ( all reps were done as fast as possible out of the hole without breaking form ):

2 sets of 3 with just the bar, to get the "box" ( ie bench) in the right spot

185x3 

205x3

225x3

I though I'd give my new bands a try so I put on the mini's, around a pin toward the bottom of the rack. Then I did the following

Overall, the squats felt really good and strong, especially out of the hole, which is something I haven't really felt before.  I really like my new lever belt with squats.  I feel like I can really push my abs against the belt which really helps at the bottom of the squat.  The bands felt natural, unlike the first time benching with them.  I wanted to try a few deads with the bands, but I couldn't find a good way to do it with the rack they have there.  I tried a few different configurations but nothing seemed to work.  Probably best since I basically did a ME deads workout on Saturday at the meet.

After that I did a few sets of leg curl machine, heavy weight ( basically the entire stack ).

The cool thing about today was, when I was setting up the rack to do box squats, this guys says "excuse me, are you a powerlifter?"  I said yeah, and he said something like because I see your westside barbell shirt and that's the best powerlifting gym around.  I said I know.  He asked if I did their program and I said yup.  He introduced himself and we talked for a few minutes.  I briefly mentioned something about having my first competition last weekend.  He said it was nice to meet me, we shook hands and I started my workout.  Very cool ( before starting my powerlifting workouts, nobody at the gym would have ever said hi ).
