Squatter's Journal-The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

[J_Byrd]

Great work while I have been gone Jim. Looks like you missed the 3rd rep at 265 just due ot fatigure. Might need to add a little more 2board work. Think we will adjust you final set to be off 2 board and be a little heaiver.

Squats looked great! No idea how you sucked that up and got it done, but you did. Impressive work!!!!

Thanks Ravi! Ok, I exaggerated. I felt 99 years old.

Thanks JB!! Great to have you back. I hope you had a great time.

Ya, likely a combo of lack of focus brought on by fatigue and a very achy lower back. Just creating an arch was a Bitch. 2 Board work sounds good. I just have to do it on Saturday ME day with the crew.

Really excited at how I felt no lower back pain during squats and at how I was able to maintain decent form. The session just sort of built upon itself set by set and I couldn't be happier about how my squat is going right now.

Thanks Chad!! I hope you and the family had a great time at Disneyworld. It's now been 4 years since we were there.

Hopefully the laser surgery will be this week.
