I did some youtubing  before my session this morning. Box squats have always felt odd to me, as if I'm doing something wrong or cheating them somehow. I watched, took it all in, and applied what I saw. They felt pretty damn good and obviously something sunk in because I got myself a sweet little PR at 190lb. I had no pain in my back or knees either, so that's always a plus. I did have  my belt and knee sleeves on, but I've resigned myself to the fact that they are a necessary evil at times.

I was feeling a little less than enthusiastic about today. I slept like dog shit last night and this morning I was feeling tired and draggy and meh. I pushed all that aside and got under that bar and did what I needed to do. Now I need to rest and have some fruit or something. I may just go wrap up in a blankie and take a nap. I feel way more tired than usual today.
