Squat Day

Beginning Thoughts:

Went in today very depleted. All I had eaten the whole day was 2 scoops of whey, 4-5 slices of mozzarella cheese, 10 fish oil tablets and a slice of pizza.

I think this is probably one of the best squat sessions I have had in a long time. My form, IMO, has improved from last week and I think I have gotten my groove back. I was a bit dejected with the 285 fail but I made up for it by hitting so many singles so close to my relative max for today.

Overall Impression:

Gonna rest up tonight, eat and then tomorrow is back day!

I hope everyone's having a good weekend so far. I have some huge exams early next week so this weekend is all about studying and preparing for them.
