Haven't done >400lbs squat in a while. Felt pretty good. Raising my heels a bit however. Need to film from a different angle next time.

Used double overhand hook grip. I can feel the calluses on the tips of my thumbs now.

First 2 reps at 367.5lbs I didn't feel much on my thumbs.

407.5lbs crushed my thumb though.

Other Notes

This is the first time keeping a record of warmups. About time...!

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.
