Squats and Shoulder Press

On Thursday the 14 Wing Powerhouse received it's new power rack. At 1000hrs the club vice president and myself assembled the rack and of course, broke it in. Here's how squats went.

New Rack Squats - bar/6 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/4 reps, (put on belt) 405lbs/2 reps, (belt and knee wraps) 495lbs/1 rep.

I'm pleased with the 495lbs. It was the easiest knee wrap squat I've done at that weight. The strength is going up.

Today was shoulder press.
