Day Two, Week One: Squats

Oh man I think I'm gonna kick butt at the squat. Same squat routine as previous weeks (4x5, 4x4, 3x3 and 3x2) but with increased weight. I had intended to lead into the competition having done 3 sets of 2 at 470, which is 20 pounds heavier than the last week of the previous routine, and so accordingly I started today's workout by increasing the 4x5 by 20 pounds, from 360 to 380. But one set of 5 at 380 was pretty easy, so I did a second set of 5 at 385, a third set of 5 at 390 and a fourth set of 6 at 395! A successful third attempt in competition at 520 is starting to look very possible :)
