I Know I said I Wouldn't, But...

     I said I wouldn't do it. I said I was going to keep it light and just rep shit out. You know I couldn't leave well enough alone. I was determined to not go over 95lbs on my squats so I would avoid getting hurt again. Well, I didn't keep it under 95lbs and I DIDN"T GET HURT AGAIN! Great things (for me) happened at the gym tonight. Here's the notes:

     I'm back in the plate club!!!! I can't even believe it. Those squats felt so good and so smooth that there was no way I couldn't go for the heavier weight. I'm so proud of myself, seriously. The feeling of being able to move that weight again is awesome, and to move it without pain makes it even sweeter! 

     Everything actually felt really good. We were toasted by the end of this session, but in a good way. The normal 45° leg press was taken, so we did the seated leg press machine instead. The only thing I noticed was on the leg extensions, there was a little bit of knee pain. I'm guessing it's because of the heavier squats, so I ended up having to cut the weight back a little. No big deal though. 

     I'm excited for things to come. I think this was the confidence boost that I needed. Frank told me to stop doubting myself and I know he's right. I can talk myself down and make myself believe that I'm weaker than what I am. I'm starting to feel like I belong in that weight room again.
