Comments:

I trained with Art for the first time today, with the goal of fixing my squat.  It turns out that I don't have as much to fix as I thought.  He was quite happy with form through warmups, and even my early sets looked pretty good to him.  However, as I did my last set, I was really starting to lean forward a bit too much.  Through a lot of yelling - the right kind - I forced me to keep my head up more and my shoulders back, which kept my form better.  However, I tweaked my knee on the third rep at 220 - my own damn fault, I let it slide a bit inside - so I stopped after 5 reps.  He then had me do some partials to get me more comfortable with more weight on my back - and even 315 was easy for those, even on a sore (hurt, not injured) knee. 

We can't work together next week, but probably will for a few weeks after that.  He's going to put together a 5/3/1 squat day for me to target some of my weaknesses.  I think I'm really going to like this.
