Jim vs. Back Squats, Shoulder Press, Power Cleans

Holy crap, Teagle is opened, and I have returned to it. My goals for today:

  1. Use a damn barbell for the first time in a month.
  2. Do so wearing my Vibrams.

Thus, I went with light weights. Also, I didn’t have much time.

Back squats
135 x 5
135 x 5

Shoulder press
95 x 3
95 x 3

Power clean
115 x 1
115 x 1

Overall, they felt very good. And while I’m sure the light load helped, I felt like I was able to get much deeper into my squat than I was used to. And, my gods, I missed barbell work.
