    44.5 year old absolute novice squatted 300lbs across sets this morning in my sixth week in the program. That may not be great in absolute terms but I'm damned pleased. When I first unracked and walked back 225 I thought I'd never squat 300.

    As a guy that just turned 44 and used to be a pretty good squatter that just started lifting again I think that is great.
