Finally, a training session that didn't end with me thinking 'wow I feel weak'! The way I felt today was the closest to normal I've felt in about a month. A really good feeling. This was my first squat session since before the wedding, so going into it I knew I wanted to keep the weight lighter, but I also wanted to be able to build off of these squats going into this next training cycle. Continuing the trend of yesterday's bench, I chose a weight that I knew I could do under any circumstances. For me, that's 275. I'm really pleased with how these moved other than being a bit rusty for the first set. I was shifting back a bit too much coming up out of the hole for my last few reps of my first set. Seth let me know what was going on, so I referred back to what Goggins taught me, which is to think about pushing your upper back into the bar coming up out of the hole.

Barx10 95x10 155x8 198x6 242x4 275x3x5

Pause 242x3x3

Leg press A weird old one that just didn't feel 'right'. kept the weight really light 3x10

Bulgarian split squats These suck more than I want to admit. I do them bodyweight and am keeping them in the program until I can perform them with 50lbs 3x10

Leg extensions 4x10-12
