They Live log.

i got a huge back squat urge. so i tried something admittedly stupid

step one : power clean 185 lbs

step two: press 185 lbs

step three : lower weight slowly into high bar position.

step four : get weight into low bar position. step four was obviously the worst.

step five : squat.

not very practical but it can be done, lowering the weights slowly obviously limits this very much.

a 185 lbs squat feels like nothing.

I have done this a few times since I still don't have a rack in my garage. It was only with 135lbs but it is definitely not the most enjoyable experience. Btw, congrats on the Zercher squat PR! 345 is awesome!

Everything looks good except for the music. Only metal has a place in a log about lifting metal. None of this new age hipster crap.

All joking aside keep up the good work!
