    New Squat PR

    I just finished my workout.

    I just full-squatted (ass to grass/ass to ground) 205 lbs. This is a PR for me. I'm really pleased as I've gotten down on squats because I didn't feel I was making much progress. So I pushed myself today and did 205.

    Pussy weight for many here, but I am quite happy.

    Congratulations!!! No weight is "pussy weight" if you have set yourself a goal and surpassed it. Your only competition is yourself.

    Nice job! On to 2 plates!!
    A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

    Don't kid yourself

    205lbs is a nice amount of weight, especially for someone weighing 148lbs!
