Nothing crazy happening, so I'll write a short blurb about squatting cos I was explaining this to someone today. Squatting is primarily a hip motion; so you descend and ascend by moving the hips (butt) down and out, rather than making the mistake most people do which is to lower and raise the chest. Think of yourself sitting back in a chair as you're going down. Most important is to keep lumbar extension and not relax your lower back, this will significantly increase your risk of injury.
The video below is an excellent demonstration of how to squat properly.. the movement if done correctly looks a little, weird, to say the least, but to be strong like bull you'll need to make some sacrifices.
Squat - 300 2x5
Bench - 205 3x5
I'd like to get to the 5 plate mark one day, hopefully by this time next year that will happen.. maybe not on a Texas Method setup, we shall see.
