Quads 2/11/19
Short story for ya
The section of the gym where the squat rack is at has no AC, the last two weeks it was cold outside so wasn’t bad. Well today, it literally felt like squatting in a sauna in the middle of the desert lol not complaining at all but I really thought mid set today would be the day I die lol
Warm ups and weights felt extra heavy today but refused to let that stop me from aiming to beat last week
SSB squats
“275” x 7
“275” x 5 dropped it on the rack on the way up of the 6th
“225” x 8 paused
First set tied last weeks, I wanted to beat it but wasn’t in there today
So I think I did the second set in attempt to punish myself lol honestly not sure how I got 5, I assumed I’d probably get 3 lol
These smoke me so so bad. Takes a real coming to Jesus meeting during the sets.
