April Squats

In week one of final preps for the USPF Nationals and went in yesterday to do squats and hit around 525 for 2 sets of 2. Mentally I was ready to go and felt good. Here's how it went down starting out.

Squats
135/10
185/5
225/2
275/2
315/2
405/1
455/1
500/1

Now at the 500 for one is where things got really iffy. I had two spotters on each side (as you can see in  the video). When I unracked the weight and with the exception of coming a little forward on my right side (you'll see a bit of hesitation when I unrack it, I had no issues. As I came down I don't I spread my knees apart like they should have and ended up carrying more load on one side. I think the kid on the right touched the bar but whatever.



Wasn't a bad day, but wasn't a good day.

Rest of the workout:
135/10
225/5
315/1
405/1
405/1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

Leg press
Leg Abductor
Leg Curls
Planks.

I almost left because I was so mad, but I kept going. Finish what you start no matter how long it takes.

Bench is tonight, so that will go better. If it doesn't, I'll just eat some sweet rolls.
