Squat day with MMM Team

Bar x 10 x 2

105 x 5

Put on my Frantz suit, no briefs,  and belt

145 x 3

195 x 3

235 x 3 (straps up from here on)

265 x 2

285 x 2

300 x 2 (w/ knee wraps)

325 x 1 (w/ knee wraps)

Leg press: 1 plate x 10 x 2 - The only purpose to this is to stretch my legs and hips out after squatting.  

I love Sundays.  The energy in the gym is great; the MMM Team is there with their goals in mind, we're all positive, driven, supportive of eachother and the music is LOUD.  Perfect setting to get under the bar and see what you're capable of.  And no better people to have by your side, either!

I tried out the Frantz suit again and it still feels just as good as it did on Friday.  I got a PR with 300 x 2 and another PR with 325 x 1.  I've attempted both weights before but they felt heavy on my back in the past and honestly, they just scared the shit out of me.  I'd be swaying back and forth the whole way down, from my toes to my heels, and then I'd come back up after a quarter of the way down because it just felt awful. 

Today I had some swaying at the stand up but I cound handle it and once I got going with the weight it was fine.  I'm excited.  My technique is better which makes me feel stronger and the weight didn't feel as heavy as before.  It opens up a whole new set of goals for me in the squat!

The squat requires the most amount of work and patience, but is the biggest reward when things go right! 

Not to mention that the guys in the gym are going crazy; Leo 6 1/2 plates, Ross 7 plates, Ghislain 8 plates and Joanick 9 plates today!!  Its an amazing feeling to be around these guys and watch them succeed in their goals! Congrats on your lifts guys!
