I finally tried squatting yesterday. I knew better than to try anything heavy. My back and sciatica are still not ready for heavy.

I am signed up for the USAPL Masters World Cup May 11th-12th in Memphis. I am not going for 2nd or 3rd place. Hopefully I can start training heavy by the end of January. First thing is do light weights until I get back in lifting shape.

Today was my 2nd day of trying to do squats.I felt like a new Fawn trying to stand for the first time. Every time I tried to squat my legs shook badly and my sciatica made my right heel come off the floor! My right cheek would felt like it was winking and legs shaking. Never give up or surrender!

Sciatica is still a problem but I am slowly getting my strength back. I have a little over 5 months to get back in shape and ready for the Masters World Cup. My legs didn't shake quiet as bad today as last time but still a little. If I can get back to 275 for reps by the end of the month I have a shot. Still don't know how my back will take heavy weight.
