I stopped because I no longer had a training partner. It's odd, being the introvert that I am, that I need another person to motivate me.<br /><br />My sticking point, the point at which I most needed someone to motivate me, seemed to be about 475 lbs. for the squat. I got scared that I would fall backwards, or forwards (I have done both in practice and competition). When the fear wouldn't allow me to lift anymore, I knew it was time to stop.<br /><br />I bring this up because I saw a guy who also powerlifts at the gym today. I knew he recognized me and I noticed him sizing me up. I'm sure he got a good show. I haven't been to the gym regularly, and I struggled with 315 in the squat. Far from the good ole' days...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8023352-1365778957415649123?l=engl1000.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Blog Guidenoreply@blogger.com
