Hit The Wall

Back Squat
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

We warmed up then started at 185# for the first single. Think the following was the progression:
185-205-225-235-240-250(f)-250(f)-245(f)-205

The 240# was a PR and it looked/felt super solid so I went for the 250#. I got it in and out of the hole, but got stuck in about the half-squat position. I tried it again with the same result so I dropped down to 245# but had no success there either. I was pretty frustrated since the weight felt good and I was moving it with some speed. I just kept getting hung-up at that half-squat position. Just below half actually. I dunno if that's a quad strength issue or what, but it feels like I just hit a wall. Whatever it is it blows. Spence didn't have much to say except that I could benefit from more explosion coming up out of the hole. I'll meet and beat that 2-fiddy next time around.
