Yesterday I finally attempted to squat with an empty Olympic barbell. That's 20kg on my back. The first few reps were a bit apprehensive; trying to balance the long barbell on my back. But the next few sets, I felt confident and actually squat with some speed. It felt really good!

Now I have 2 of my major lifts on barbell - Deadlift and Squat. The next 2 major lifts to proceed to barbell would be the Overhead Press and Bent-over Row. I think those can be done by next week.
