My knees held up well during the squats which kind of surprised me. The squats on the Smith Machine started to really aggravate them and y the time I did the leg extensions, they were toast. The 165lb felt better than last time though and I don't think I struggled as much to get the 3 reps. Next week I'll try for the full 5. I believe I can do it. I've been trying to give a much more concerted effort at targeting my quads (as I said before) and I like the way it's making my legs feel. It's tricky to get that balance between enough to stimulate my legs but not so much that it destroys my knees in the process.
Overall, a good squat session for me, so I won't complain.
