Congrats Whit! Where did you do this? I'm envisioning the shocked faces of
the surrounding 'toners' at 24-Hr Fitness as you loaded up the bar, and the
trainers rubbing their hands together and giving the squat rack worried
looks. And Whit roaring through it all, and accepting the adulation of the
cardio-bunnies afterwards. :-)

Woot!

But dude - wraps?

i needed a little "leg confidence" after my rather hellacious muscle tear 4
months ago

i'm actually pretty surprised that i could squat 500 4 months after i
completely decimated my leg

i did it at 24 hrs. unfortunately, the cardio room is not visible from the
weight room so i could not enjoy the adulation of the cardio bunnies. 🙁

it was immensely satisying to see 5 plates on the bar, though.

otoh, my legs STILL hurt

i didn't say there were ONLY 5 plates on the bar

5 big plates per side, PLUS one 2 1/2 lb'er per side, PLUS clamps, thus
assuring it was OVER 500 lbs
