     Tonight, according to the program, was supposed to be max effort squats with a specialty bar. I don't have access to any kind of specialty bar, so I just went with standard back squats. I was riding pretty high on last night's progression on the bench, but that high didn't carry over to tonight. I was really, really hoping for an increase in my max squat, but as you can see, I'm still at 195lbs. I'm disappointed but I'm trying to not let that disappointment overshadow my overall progress. I'm going to start adding in heavier working sets and more of them. You get better at squatting, by squatting. The 155lb x3 felt pretty good and I was a little bit happy with that.

I don't have too much else to say. Feelin' a little low, a little down, but not out. I'll be back at it on Thursday.
