I've squatted and can't stand up!

Today was full squat cleans. Which I like because I feel like my form is pretty good and when I do it it feels good. Especially on those lifts when it just clicks. Those are the best. Today went 3-3-1-1-1-1 trying to get a new PR on last set of 1. I warmed up with a set of 3 at 45 and another 3 at 65. Then for the workout I went 65, 75, 89, 99, 116, 121. I thought that I would throw on another 5 pounds just to see what 126# felt like. I was able to get it to my shoulders drop to the full squat but could not stand. I was stuck. There was no way that I was going to stand. I just hung out at the bottom for a bit had a little giggle (because I knew it wasn't going to happen) and then ditched the bar. I got the clean now I just need the squat. I checked and my max front squat is 133#. So I should be able to get that. Next time.

Ate my snack a little early today because I was feeling hungry after lunch. Usually I try for 3:15ish but today it was more like 2:45pm. Don't know why. I was worried that I would not have the energy for the workout but I really don't think it made a difference.


Dinner tonight:
Protein: 2oz talapia, 1.5 oz feta
Carbs: 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 1/4 cup broccoli, 3 handfuls of salad mix, 1/2 cup mushrooms
Fat: 3 tbsp Avocado
Kind of boring but ready to eat in about 15 minutes. Quick and dirty!



Below is a picture of my cool ninja shoes. That's what Andy calls them. I really like them so far. They are comfortable and better on my feet then just going barefooted. Took a bit of getting used to but I think they are money! Also a photo of some weights. I like weights.
