Getting my Backsquat Back

Tuesday, August 4;

The Backsquat is still one of my weaker moves. It's strange. I have a body built for this move. Strong, short legs. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work this move very much, because it's tough for me to get my shoulder in that rotation to hold the bar. I've been stretching that rotation every morning before class. I noticed the improved flexibility today. It's far from perfect, but it's getting better. I'm happy with that. After the flexibility returns I'll be able to improve the strength. The last time we worked the backsquat, I maxed out at 3 reps of 115lb. Not very good for me. Today I improved a good bit. I hit 125lb for 5 reps, but I hit 145lb for 3 reps and 135lb for 4.

I can work with it.
