Alright, so,
my knees felt kind of brittle after having a heavy shot around by myself yesterday. THe 315 and 335 squat didn't feel too good. So I decided to lower the weight and hit 8 reps. It was definitely an 8RM for me. It felt alot better, on the 2 back up sets of 295x5, I didn't feel any discomfort in my knees whatsoever.

I think I'll stick with these slightly higher reps on the squats. I have to think long term and do what's best for my joints.

It made my glutes pretty tired, so I donly did one set of RDLs and threw in some ham work after that.

Nice job!

I've never tried wearing 2 pairs of sweatpants before.

One of my pairs was really ripped up, plus it was cold outside and not too warm in the gym. A skin tight pair plus a loose pair

Been too lazy to post, but had the workouts written in my phone.

Skipped a lot of workouts at the end of december, so you'll see me doing a lot more sets for a few workouts to get my neural strength back. Also gained weight. My plan was to go high sets to get strength back while maintaining weight, and now I'm back to cutting while maintaining strength.
