After a year it finally happened - I missed a squat...

[Derf123]

Went for 5x155.5 kg - 153 had not been a problem - 1st and 2nd rep felt good but suddenly on the 3rd I just became STUCK to such a degree i had to let the weight go. I have the world's reddest back and a hurt pride. Good thing is it's still a 2 rep PR...

Got a 3 rep PR for bench at 118 kg afterwards, so it wasn't the worst day. Never is when I get to lift.

Well that's just flippin' fantastic mate.

Got a 3RM 155.5 squat today. Great to get done, following last week.

Well that's just flippin' fantastic mate.

Seriously now, was it tough mentally to tackle a weight you bailed on last time? And how much do you weigh?

[Derf123]

Haha,

I'm 6.6 weighing 104-5 kg dry weight.

I got a couple of spotters, helped a lot, knowing that if it happened again they'd pick me up. Also, I made very sure to be well fed before training.

It didn't feel heavy this time.

I had been thinking a lot about it during the week.

[Aslin]

out of curiousity what sort of program are you on? TM?

Good job too man.

[Derf123]

Thanks,

Yes TM.
