I had to squat in the power rack because a trainer was 'using' one of the squat racks and spotting his girlfriend quarter-squatting in the other one. He used the other rack to park a loaded barbell, did not touch it the whole time I was there. Squats 1 x 12 x air, 1 x 10 x bar, 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 5 x 85, 1 x 3 x 105, 1 x 3 x 115, 1 x 3 x 125- hard and awkward in the stupid stand with my face one inch from the mirror. 1 x 1 x 130, 1 x 2 x 130 fail on the rails. Now, the trainer was bench pressing by now so I just unloaded the friction bar and took the squat rack. 3 x 5 x 125, and a revelation! I wasn't keeping my upper back tight enough, was concentrating on my whole core and as soon as I fixed the upped back super hard the squats were ALOT easier.
I created a mantra too; I am Fierce, I am Brave, I am Strong and repeated that with every rep. Finished off with 1 2 x 5 x 115, 2 x 5 x 95.
Overhead press 1 x 8 x bar, 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 3 x 65, 1 x 4 x 65, 1 x 4 x 65, 1 x 3 x 65. I'll get there. Power cleans were good, 1 x 5 x bar, 2 x 3 x 65, 5 x 3 x 75. Tomorrow is running practice.
