Today was the last test for the Jack Squatter. I've really liked the way it feels so I was confident going in. Warm ups went real well. I took my last warm up of 685 for a double and cranked the straps...it was a train wreck. I got the reps but it was terrible. Next went for my planned opener of 780. Loosened the straps up and went really well. Did it again with a lite more strap and got it but cut it a little. On the turn around out of the hole my knees went a little forward and I had a mini good morning going on to get back upright. That strained my lower back a little and I almost shut it down. I thought about it and decided to go for my RB set at 815. Got it easy with very little discomfort. I did shut it down after that though. I've had this back thing going on forever so I can gauge it pretty good. I could tell that it was going to be stiff and hurt but not put me out. All in all I'm happy. I cut the squats some but I'll get it. All my squats were good in October so I know where I need to be. I just need to figure the straps out on this suit and alls good.
I squatted on Sunday because I went to a raw meet Saturday. First time I'd ever been to one, it was a Raw United meet in Tampa. I helped Julie Wilson out in her first meet. She is a crossfitter and wanted to try it out. She did really well and met the goal she had placed on herself of a 700 lbs total. She should have had 715, her third dead was for 300 and there was a mysterious hitch called... Next time.
Hopefully she'll come back for more. She's got potential.
