Straight after my last exam I headed into the town to train. I was squatting. Here's how it went:
These squats totally wrecked me, considering there were more sets of 160kg unbelted mixed in with them and to be honest I did probably push myself too hard. All the 160 were unbelted, the 220 belted. The week and a half or so since that I've only trained once or twice. Just taking it easy for a while. I've been working full time and sitting at a desk and I've found my back has locked up a little. I phoned to make an appointment with the guy I usually go to, but unfortunately he wasn't working either of the two days that I'm free, so I'm going to have to be careful with my back until I can find time to get to Dunmurry to see him and have my back looked at.
I took today off and I'm working all day tomorrow and then heading out to dinner with Laura, so I'll do a bit of accessory work on Saturday. Goodmornings are up to 130kg unbelted, so I may take a video of them, only if they don't look exceedingly ugly though... :P
This is just a quick entry, should be making another in the next few days.

20 reps squats are unreal. Was the first hardcore program I got into after reading Brawn by Stuart McRobert. They are a rare sight in most gyms. Only ever done by the true warriors of the Iron Game.
That was some weight you were shifting as well mate. Respect.
Amazing squats mate!
Have to ask though, do you worry about your forward lean during the squat? I do it aswell so was just wondering if your worried about it at all? Freaks me out, but if your cool do it with that on your back then its not too bad I suppose.
Cheers
Hazard: Yeh, 20 rep squats are so sick. Soul destroyers! Thanks for the comment man :)
Sean: Since I made the major technique adjustments I have really begun to negate my lean forward. It used to be really bad, now I think I have much better control of the bar. I have also been hammering my lower back in the gym which has made a huge difference. Also, Ed Coan leaned forward in his squats, look how far he managed to get despite it! :P
