Weighed 246 lbs this morning. Too much. I also felt very weak. Shoulder pain, muscles wouldn’t warm up, felt very slow.

Had a good solo squat session today at Big Iron Gym. Felt strong in the hole as long as I thought about pushing my knees out laterally.

I tried to go for a new PR today, but my shoulders were not having any of it 😦
My worst lift. I just can’t seem to keep the weight from moving away from me. I need to try to keep my weight back on my heels I think. Any form help is appreciated. Will be posting video for 3/12/15 soon.
Boom Review: Becoming a Personal Trainer for Dummies
Posted: March 11, 2015 in Product ReviewsTags: Boom Review, Personal Trainer
I just finished reading this book. The only reason I decided to read this one instead of the 8 textbooks I have was fundamental curiosity.  I wanted to see if it had anything different to bring to the table.  It did. It was very informative on the business side of being a personal trainer. The book assumes that the reader already has certification as a trainer so the base of the book is slightly misleading. There is alot of information that is useful for running a business including links to forms and manuals that would be useful. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t have their certificate already. It would be good to read after you pass your exam.  This book will come in handy after I pass my exam!
Maybe these new socks will help me hit higher lifts?!?!
