High Bar Squat

  • 460 x 1
  • 485 x 7 * PR!
    • I was thinking about squatting 500 lb x 6 for a 6RM, but chickened out decided not to be greedy and progressively overload my PR's in baby steps instead.
    • 6 would have been a PR, but got another rep. Went for 8, but missed. Nice looking fail though.
