M2 W2 Squat Day

Fall 2008 Training
Mesocycle 2 - Week 2

Beginning Thoughts:

I had a 20 minute presentation (solo) and two History Quizzes today. So you can imagine I got very little sleep last night. And today was tiring as hell too.

Overall Impression:

I went really hard this workout. The 315 squat just flew up. It did not feel very heavy and on the descent I concentrated on using my hips and ass. I think this was a pretty good session. 

I am leaving for Dallas on Wednesday. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I will do my Extra Workout of this week. From the 26th of November to the 4th of December my workouts are going to be pretty random. I will label all these interim workouts as "Extra Workouts". So my next Deadlift Day (which culminates each week) is scheduled for the 5th. 

I hope everyone is having a good week  

Cheers!
