Squat And Maybe Die

Tonight was squat night. I have always had a love/hate relationship with squat night. I love doing squats because they make me feel capable and strong. I hate squat nights because for the entire 24 hours before them, I stress over not being able to do them. I have some irrational fear of getting brutally injured during squats. It's never happened. And believe me, if there was ever a person who would get brutally injured during a squat session, it would be me. I'm not sure where this fear came from, but it refuses to leave me. I got through everything fine tonight (as I always do). I'll be good until next Monday night when I can start worrying over my Tuesday squat session again. Ah, the life of a neurotic. 

Tonight was about finding my squat max. Just like bench, I've lost about 15lbs since I last did this program. Plenty of room for improvement. Here's what I did tonight:

BACK SQUATS

100lbs x8

120lbs x5

140lbs x3

160lbs x1

180lbs x1

BARBELL RDL

Bar x12

95lb x10

DB GOBLET SQUAT

(25lb x10) 3x

I didn't die, or get brutally injured. I managed some OK weight, but certainly not something I'm excited about. All in all, I'm pleased and I've lived to lift another day.
