I've started a new training cycle for my squats, too. My end goal for this training cycle is a Nationals-meet-deep 290, which I have done a couple times before in training. The first time I ever squatted 290, I was at The Gym in Plymouth, MN and had Terry Bloom spotting me with Mitch calling my depth. I had a hard time unracking it, lost my balance walking it out, and re-racked it. BUT... I then took a few seconds to re-focus, as I was pretty ticked off that this had happened. I walked it out again with more determination (and my knee wraps feeling like tourniquets about to cause a couple of amputations). I squatted down, heard the call... came back up... and it was a great feeling. That was before IPF World's 2007, pictured above. I need deja' vu all over again!
It was just me and Mitch training squats yesterday in the Icebox, a.k.a. power room.
