Unnerved

     I wasn't looking forward to tonight's lower body. Around noon time I was already giving myself reasons why I didn't have to do it - too tired, an extra rest day would be OK, I can make up for it tomorrow; all bullshit. As I always did with squat days, I was nervous and apprehensive of the effort that was going to be required. I was going to try for deads, but I thought I would do squats for a month, then maybe switch it up. I dunno, we'll see; my plans usually change. Anyhow, I was nervous and looking for an out. 

     Frank was telling me the other day about some guy who is always saying "just go to the gym". I had no idea who he was talking about, but it stuck in my head. So I told myself "just go to the gym". We went, we squatted (and a bunch of other stuff) and all those excuses I was so ready to use fell by the wayside. Here's what got done tonight:
