Goals for 2012

[PaulBeech]

I did get 335 for 5 before my big reset but I'm pulling a lot better now. Really concentrating on the initial squeeze and its working. I'm 35lbs from 900 now although I do need to get my squat back up again. Potentially I'm four weeks away.
Tonight was my first time at using a full set of bumper plates and a brands spanking new york olympic bar. I love my new gym.

Well, I tried OHP today. I did warm up sets up to 135 (my typical work sets were 160 before injury) and it was quite painful. Tried a couple sets of incline bench and it hurt marginally less.
I also did a couple squats barefoot to get the feel and, funny story, I had the opposite problem--instead of rolling forward, I rolled backward and almost fell on my arse! Overall it felt good, though. I just need to find a happy medium, concentrate on keeping my whole foot on the floor, and I should be alright.

You're probably rocking back because you had to drive your heels down to compensate for your squishy shoes, and your body still expects having to do this when you squat, even though you don't need to do so when barefoot. It'll take a while to go away, but you'll be better off for it.

Mwhities doesn't seem to be aware of the fact that he is going to the seminar in June for free.

I'm sure he'll figure it out. LOL

Think he'll be squatting around 500 by then? Seems possible.

It may come to him eventually.
