225 x 2

( done with explosiveness )

135 x 6 holding the bottom and stretching hips

135 x 4 holding the bottom and stretching hips

Between each of the sets above, I would get down into a squat just at parallel and work on flexing/stretching my hips, etc.  Basically stretching and playing around with figuring out how to keep my shins perpinduclar to the floor.

Thoughts on todays squat session....  Holly crap! I'm VERY happy with how my squats are progressing.  I feel like I'm learning how to use my hips in an explosive manor, and weight that when I first started squatting felt heavy, now it feels like air and I can move it pretty quickly/explosively.

Dumbell rows:

115 x 8

125 x 7

125 x 7

Lat pulldowns ( in front )

120 x 10

170 x 8

170 x 8

I got on the scale, 295.  Lost a couple pounds, which I can't believe given how much I've been eating.

Time to go eat lunch.

Oops, I missed logging my DE bench workout on tuesday.  It should go under this entry.  It basically was a pretty standard session for me.
