277#!! Squat Clean PR

277#!! Squat Clean PR
His shirt says, "Squat You Must!"

Buddie can move a lot of weight. He has a lot of natural talent and the body shape for it, and he works hard at getting stronger and building the mental fortitude that is necessary for looking at a barbell that weighs more than you do and thinking, "Yes, I would like to pick that up and wave it around."

It's testing week at our box, and today Buds got a personal record for the squat clean. He was methodical and measured and when it was time to move the weight for the PR lift, he did it without pause.

I don't have video of today, but here he is doing a 3-rep squat clean back on August 21 of this year. He had 225# on the bar that day, which was a personal record for a 3-rep series.

Smooth and easy.

Proud, inspired, and glad to know he could carry me out of a burning building.

Great job, Buds!!
