Sun Nov 21, 2010 Squat

Shoulders are stiff having trouble on the standup today again. Need to stretch them out next time. When I stand up the bar seems to go through my shoulder sending pain down inside. But, when I get to heavy weights, I tighten up a lot and don't feel it anymore.

bar x reps

145 x 15

235 x 6

briefs

315 x 3 lots of pressure

suit on straps down

405 x 2 too much head pressure

suit on straps up

505 x 2 weight was fine, but body shook like crazy and head felt like my eyes were going to pop out

knee wraps

600 x 1 shook like a crazy man but not quite as bad as Mat Bertrand, head felt like it would explode

650 x 1 same thing again plus left thigh hurt. But, was happy that I did it.

I think maybe too much salt in my diet, plus movie night on Saturday with lots of popcorn may have something to do with the head pressure.

Jamie Seguin came to squat and went up to  700 lbs, very impressive. Mike Guay was came in but did only one set of squat and then benched raw up to 405 x 3 I think. Carmine is doing great, stayed in Briefs and focussed on form at 600 lbs for reps. Cheryl went up to 485 but kept leaning forward. Shawna with up to 350 and cut it there because she wasn't feeling the form to go higher. Joanick was not there for the first time. Ghislain took it easy, well he still went up high. He brought in his own briefs that he made, they looked really good. We went to the Bakery after and Cheryl joined us this time because she has a week at home, so it was another great squat day.
