Notes - Interesting squat observation.  Watching video, I was coming forward slightly out of the hole and the bar was moving forward, wasting a lot of energy.  I need a vertical bar path period. I have to do some thinking as to how to solve this.  It's an issue I think with the move out of the hole, I need to get my ass going straight up.  I also recently bought a belt from Dominion, and I think this will help.  i used a belt at the Squat Camp in Portland last week and liked it a lot. I will say my hip flexors still haven't really recovered from that, or said more factually, now I am squatting deep and I can really feel it:) It's way harder.  I must have been an inch or whatever high on most of my squats before going to the camp.  Powercleans were ok, had not done the movement in almost two weeks so took a little getting used to.  Would be very encouraging to get the PC up to a more reasonable weight, 145 was harder than I was hoping it would feel, but some of that was a lack of practice too.
