My lower back is still sore and I felt unstable in the bottom of the squat, but aside from that the weight felt good on my back. I wasn't sure about the jump from 375 to 415, but after talking with Ross, I'd like to be able to stick with bigger jumps because it gives me more range in a meet (I can open with 375, jump to 415 or 425 then go on from there). The triple with 375 felt solid and was exciting to do; I got a little shaky on the third rep but it forced me to hold my form harder.
Eating is better, sleep was better last night, stress is still very high and now my sinus' are full and I have a sore throat again....some meds and another goodnights sleep will hopefully have me in better shape tomorrow.
Mike squatted 1180 lbs today - it's absolutely unbelieveable to watch. I can't imagine somebody standing up with that kind of weight nevermind going down with it and then back up again! Mike had a great big smile on his face when he was done and you can't help but be happy for him! Congatulations Mike!
