notice the DJ volume increased for both days.. really focus on those, get proper rest between reps (15-30 seconds) and proper rest between sets (5 minutes).. also squat numbers went up once more.
of course, if anything feels weird or squat singles feel a little too heavy, feel free to drop it down slightly.. but otherwise, kill that shit!
