High Bar (aka Olympic) Squat
High bar squats. Got my Nike Romaleos 2 today so I'm wearing those instead of my Chuck Taylor's.
I'm walking around like Frankenstein, and it sounds like I'm walking in high heels. Squatting feels nice though.

- Exhausted. Dammit.
- Didn't power clean the weight into position today. Want to take it easy on my low back.
- Wore super stiff new belt (Inzer 13mm lever belt). Feels ok while pressing, but can't do a full ROM squat in it yet. Need to break it in.
