August 18 Squat

Today was my first heavy squat since...June 6 at the Pro-Am. I didn't went over 600 since then because i don't have a monolift and can't make the trip to Montreal Barbell for a while because of schedule problem and other things. So i bought some 3/8 chains and hooks, and made a makeshift monolift inspired by the one Nathan Robertson had at the commercial gym he was training. For 69$, it's the best money i have invest in a long time...

raw

135 x 10

225 x 5

315 x 3

add brief

405 x 2

455 x 2

495 x 1

add canvas suit bottom

585 x 1

635 x 1

add loose strap up and loose knee wrap

675 x 1

735 x 1

The weight felt heavy and my balance was not good at first but it went up pretty good. It's normal that i had these problem after 2 months off heavy squat in gear but it was better than i expected. 735 felt better than the 675 and i was good for 800 but i am slowly working my way up....wake up my nervous system.
