Very proud of the work today. 120 squats total with respectable weight. Had to belt up at the 175lb mark but didn't need knee sleeves at all. My back was cramped and tight from the beginning so that was annoying. I learned, however, that I can push through some pretty prominent pain. Now, I know that pain can be an indicator of issues and I don't advocate ignoring what your body is telling you. However, there is something within the strongest, most determined people that I see; something in the people that inspire me. That something is the ability to push through uncomfortable circumstances. To me, and to a lot of other people I know, the ability to hold your pain in check, look it in the eye and tell it to go to hel, is a beautiful thing. It's a trait that very few people possess. Today, I learned that I just may have that trait.
