The big number today was 375, first time I've ever held it on my back. The first two times my legs were shaky and I was scared, so my knees were forward and I was really slow going down and came up way too soon. Got annoyed with myself for being scared and making it harder on myself by not sticking with my form. Decided to try it again this time focusing on not being scared. Stand up was much better the third time, went faster and tried to stick with my form. Felt a lot better but I still hit that point were my head took over and I came back up sooner than I should have; got lower than the first two times, though so I am pleased with that. Need to handle it a couple more times and then I think I'll get it right.
Great day in the gym! Mike came in and was strong as an ox, Carmine was much more aggressive, Cheryl was on a mission, Joanick was fearless as usual, Ross hit a great squat and Melanie squatted for the first time with the team and did amazing! I always look forward to Sundays and this Sunday was exactly the reason why!
