Day One, Week Two: Squats

On Monday I returned to squats. My IT band has been acting up again lately; in the week leading up to this workout the pain had returned with a vengeance. (My therapist has a theory about it, and I'll post about that later.) Fortunately, this workout didn't aggravate it too much.

You'll notice that instead of a 4th working set of 3, I have 3 singles. This is because I accidentally put more weight on than I had intended, which left me weak for the second rep at the intended weight, and my third had to be with still less weight. I'm beginning to think my competition goal for the squat is a bit too high.
