Time to squat. Bouncing ahead in the schedule (which I've been ignoring during this last HT week, just so, since everything else is still enmired in week A) and wondering how this would play out based on my previous attempts at heavy squat days. Passed through the gym doors with a sense of trepidation and mission.
The good news: nothing felt heavy today, except for the 45's when handling them onto the bar ends, but the bar on my back? ...everything felt light.
The bad news: Lindsay Varner was doing her partial presses on the Smith machine behind me all the way through today's session. I'm not usually a self-conscious person, but feeling the weight of her (projecting here, I'm aware) inner smirk made me simultaneously want to work elsewhere, and make certain that every rep was tea bagged and sharp. Intimidated? Yeah. Determined? Yeah, to prove something to someone - me first, and anyone who might be looking, only secondly.
Today I hit all my marks - something I didn't know if I was going to be able to do this whole cycle. Kudos to a week of HT/Volume work, and to the watchful eye of you're lifting like a girl.

... maybe a little heavy for the bar speed I'm looking for - I certainly didn't get the reps I wanted. Gotta throttle back a little on these (maybe 5% on all 4 weeks).
