Cut it off here, both out of caution for my back and to make it to Costco on time before they closed. Very pleased coming out of this pain free (so far) and feeling strong under the bar.
I instinctively adopted a slower descent and it made a significant difference from the last few times I've squatted heavy. I can dive bomb a squat when I have some mass around my midsection, but deep in the throes of losing weight, that tempo tends to throw off my balance and I have to fight extra hard for it. Easing down works far better, as the weight feels heavy but I feel a good grip with the floor to really drive up hard.
The Costco haul was a good one. All meat and veggies, and otherwise no carbs. I've also been sleeping on the jars of smoked sardines, which blow the regular tinned ones out of the water in terms of taste.
