High Bar Squat (No Belt)

  • 440 x 5 * PR!
    • Missed the 6th rep. Tired man!
    • I could feel my hips rising faster than my chest coming up for the first couple of reps, so I changed the area where I look at on the ceiling so I could look a little higher in order to keep my torso more erect. I think it worked. I saw a few Chinese Olympic weightlifters violently throw their head backwards nearly snapping their own necks on the ascent on the back squat before. May try this eventually.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
