Spatts ...

[gettinlarger]

I told you my squat blows ass.

Tonight ...
135 for 5
155 for 3
185 for 2
225 for 2
245 for 1
275 for 1
295 for 1
315 for 1. PR.

Yep, 315 for 1. That's my PR.

But hey, my squat has always sucked. A year ago, I think I was just starting out with the exercise. My lower back was not the strongest part of my body either. So, I'm happy with tonight's PR.

SO STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT YOURS!!
(I'm sorry. I'm only kidding. Don't kill me.)

A PR is a PR, regardless. If the weight is going up, thats all that matters. Congrats

Nothing wrong with wanting to do better. Congrats on the PR.

Congrats!!!

Gettinlarger,

What is the weakest point of the squat?? What part of your body is breaking down when you reach the heavy stuff??

Let me know, and we can determine the weak points.

Anyway, I forsee major improvements in the near future!!

Well, at about 1/3 of the way up, I had to use my back a little bit, but I knew I would do that, my lower back was always a weak point in my squats. But I did not use it as much as I thought I would have to, so there's a good sign. My knees came in a bit as well. That's the hips, right?

Gl,

When you say you had to use a little bit of back, did you hunch forward a bit, or was your back remaining flat, but it was bending over (like a good morning)?

Like a GM.

I'm actually heading out homey. Feel free to post up any suggestions and tips. That goes for everyone too.
