Friday, October 22, 2010 - Squats

What a fantastic day in the gym. Today was actually a fantastic day in general. I woke up feeling rested and good. I got 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I ate really well; eggs, smoked salmon, chicken breast, and squid preparing for squats and it all came together and really paid off.

I was set to finish at 340 for my final set of squats with as many reps as possible. I wanted to get 10 at that weight. The gym ended up getting crowded last night and the curl fest taking place took most of the smaller plates so I ended up just loading what I thought was 345. I started my set and got into my groove and was explosive out of the bottom. I ended up getting 11 reps and feeling really good about it. As I was unloading the bar I realized I had loaded on 355 by mistake. What a great feeling to knock out those 11 reps with that weight by surprise.
