felt fairly good heading in, no sharp pains anywhere, wasn't overly difficult to keep my form during warm ups. It's a weird game, I don't feel good until I get to 4 plates, everything feels like shit, but then I'm warmed up enough to get on my heels, from there it's all confidence for me. Tonite I smashed 475 with chains, then panicked with 495 got on my toes, rushed depth, stayed on my toes, bar started to roll up my back and it was game over. That's why I've always preferred low bar, I found I could power through reps where I got on my toes, but everyone I talk to tells me to keep it where it's at. Either way, i just need to refine this style right now, as it's the one that I think will get me to 600.
I watched Paul Vaillancourts 600 squat on xmas eve, and that one was awesome for me at least. I remember probably 2 years ago, Paul entered a powerlifting meet and told me he wanted a 600 squat, then come meet day I don't know if he got 550. I think he got 545. I was always really excited to see how Paul handled this one, because I've just never seen him say he was going to do something, and miss his goal by so much... Keep in mind, like the other 99% of the time... holy crap. I never saw his squats, I was lifting, but I've seen him just slowly lock it down ever since. It took him almost 2 years to the day to accomplish that goal, and I guarantee he was pissed like crazy that he hadn't done it sooner. then he hits it, and doesn't say a word about it.. I bet his goal is more like 700 now, but Pauls just that kind of guy, he's never satisfied.
