100 lb Barbell Squat

I haven't posted my workouts in awhile...vacation sort of got in the way of my workouts.  I did get lots of walking in though!

I have had a number in my mind for what I wanted to squat...100 pounds.  It really seems like a long ways off when you start at just using your bodyweight.  When did I start squatting?  Hmm...can't even remember...but it does seem like forever ago.

I've worked all my way up the numbers though and can now officially say that I can barbell squat 100 pounds (as of yesterday!).  Funny thing...I didn't even know I did it until this morning when I added up my weights.

Side note...I am sore today and can feel all those muscles that helped me get to that 100 pounds.  It's one of those good pains though.  ;)  I am now at 115 pounds and could go up just a little bit more but I am very close to my limit for now at about 5 reps.

Now...I want to get to 150 pounds.  This will take a bit to get there but that is my next goal for a barbell squat.  Little bit at a time and one day I will make this goal too.
