Default Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Personal record in squat, today.

135 x 8
225 x 5
275 x 3
315 x 3

365 x FAIL: I crossed parallel and couldn't get up so I dumped the weight. At this point, a couple of guys came over, and offered their help getting the weight back up and on my next set.

So the next attempt, I asked them to just keep an eye on when I hit parallel and tell me to "push" when I get there. This was nice because it allowed me to keep better balance and look up a little. As soon as he said "push" I twitched those muscles, pushed that floor apart, and popped that bad boy right up.

365 x 1 -- NEW PR!

I had full intentions to do more after that (some box squats, some stiff legged deads, etc.); but it would have taken too much time in rest to make sense. Perhaps I'll go back in tonight for some cardio or something. I'm on cloud 9 at the moment, though....
