Opener: 1,052 pounds—Good
However, I rushed my setup and my feet were too wide.
Second Attempt: 1,107 pounds—No Lift
I tipped back before I was able to squat, and I had already been given the squat command. It is my mistake for being an idiot and not setting up properly.
Third Attempt: 1,107 pounds—Good!
I got a sweet ab cramp when I went under the bar. I tried to fight it out while I was setting up, but it was not going away! So, I backed out from under the bar and tried raising my left arm to get it to go away. It went away enough for me to say, "fuck it," and I set back up and got the squat!

A PR! A huge thanks to Paul Key and Tony Garland for talking me through this. Clay Brandenberg also gave me a lot of pointers. So with all of that help, not getting the lift wasn't an option.
Third Attempt: 782 pounds—Good!
This was all I had that day. It was a huge PR, and I am very happy since I was having what I thought was a terrible bench training cycle.
