Strength log for Monday, March 2nd

Finally hit 315# back squat.  Even got it on video.  The culmination of 14 months of training.

I worked up with 95#, 135# and 185# for 5, and a double at 225#.  Got out my belt and hit 285# for a single then loaded up 3 big plates on each side.

I was so nervous.  I recruited Adam to be my camera man and when he gave me the go ahead, a unracked it and got to work.

It goes by so fast in the video, it seemed like I was stuck for a lot longer during the lift.

In fact, watching the video my upward motion never actually stops.  It slows a lot in the middle as I squeeze and tighten different core muscles to find another gear, but it keeps going up. 

Didn't feel that way at the time. 

Really stoked about this lift. It's been a long time in coming.

Progress update.
