Friday, December 03, 2010 - Squat

What a strange day. The world just sort of closed in and sapped a lot of my energy and motivation. We went into Phase I conditions and the storm was supposed to get worse so I really questioned even going to the gym at all. I figured at the last minute that the gym would be the best thing for me and I turned right around in the room to make the drive to the gym.

Once in the gym everything melted away and it was good and comfortable. I was able to sink into a nice groove and felt pretty strong. I like the 5/3/1 Reloaded program a lot so far due to the heavy singles. On my final 3 set at 365 I left probably 3 or 4 reps on the table so that I could focus well on the singles. I put 385 up for 3 which felt pretty easy. I then had an easy 405 and 425. I decided to try a new PR of 435. The first rep went up good so I decided to go for a second. As I was going up you can see I lose the arch in my back, I started to lean forward, I knew I was doing it so I tried to compensate and ended up losing my balance backwards. Sooooo...no double. Soon though.

Below is my 435 video and a video from the Swole Patrol at the Elite FTS UGSS. What an amazing event that must have been.
