Cool Down: stretch; lotsa pull up bar hanging.

I'd never squatted prior to beginning Starting Strength at the end of September (This is not a SS workout but I got tired of doing 3x5, so I borrowed the idea from CrossFit Linda.). I'm still getting used to the idea that I probably won't be squished under the bar. So 175# is my newest PR. I can now officially squat my body weight. Very cool!

I went through all of the squats first, then the military presses. I tweaked something between my shoulders doing the 115#, so the last two sets ended up being more push press than I intended. Oh well, it's still work.
