As you all attempt your 1RM Back Squat today please take note of a few things. If you feel you would like a spotter, ask a coach. We can and will help you out. Also, if you happen to use a spotter kindly remember to NOT dump the bar into your spotters arms. From experience I can tell you it’s not appreciated, so keep your bearings while you’re lifting. Verify the weight on the bar prior to attempting your PR as I’ve seen the occasional celebration only to be squashed by the realization that they were actually 5lb under. Finally, have fun. I know it’s a pretty simple concept but we tend to forget that aspect on 1RM days. Success or failure it’s about the effort and how you handle yourself more than if you make the lift or not.’
I want to send out a few congrats to Laura & Sean Carmichael and to Ryan Vidmar and his wife on their new born babes. Congrats and I know Sam is so excited to lick their little faces.
Have a great Friday.
