Crux of workout: Good pace, maybe an hour?

Had to wait over forty minutes for the squat rack. As a pair of guys left, a girl approached the bar. I decided to get over myself and alternate sets with her. This left my rest periods far shorter than usual. But, I felt pretty good. She noted that I have some of the best form she’s seen. Cool. : ) She was doing heavy triples of low-bar squats. She had some significant forward lean, but her back never rounded, and she got the weight up.

I felt gassed at the end of the second set, so I vowed to nail three on the third set and call it from there. 210 is around where I started grinding on Starting Strength. But. I suspect my luck will be different this time.
