Petrizzo videos get fun when he struggles, because he just keeps pushing/pulling. They could be captioned "How not to quit on a rep."

Thanks. I have to work hard to maintain tightness during my squat. I have a bad habit of loosening up in the hole.I hope to one day have the hip drive and tightness you display in your squats. Strong work.
Agreed. This is not a mistake that I will make again!It's ok baby u just didn't eat chipotle this week!

The way you grind through - on that 3rd rep at 450, wow - is a study in staying with a rep. I need to get much, much better at this.Thanks for the kind words, guys. I was really disappointed with how those sets went. 445 and 545 were much easier triples a few weeks ago than 450 and 550x2 were this past week. I need to be better. Hopefully this Friday won't be such a grind!omg that was so slow. nice lift John, way to gut it out!

Disappointing training day. I was pretty confident I was going to get 410x5x5, which would have been a PR, because 405x5x5 was not too tough a few weeks back. I really had to grind hard on my third set, and just ran out of gas. I am confident I will get this the next time it rolls around. In the meantime, I have decided to do a local RPS meet at the end of February here on LI. I want to continue to gain more meet experience and I think I can hit some modest PRs in all of the lifts. Right now I am handling weights at or very close to where I was at the end of my last meet prep cycle, and I still have seven weeks to improve on them. Looking forward to it.
Here are a few videos from my huge embarrassing failure of an attempt to squat 410x5x5:

I hope everyone had a Happy New Year.
