So yesterday was leg day for my new lifting schedule. The set of lifts I put together for this leg session is a lot, but should give me great progress.

It started off with squats. This is an exercise I had not enjoyed when I first started doing them.  Not sure if that was because of the difficulty, the fact that my first gym only had a Smith machine to use when doing them, or what… I had steadily gone up over time, and yesterday I felt mentally and physically prepared to go after my goal. Now, mind you this is lighter than many people, but I am quite satisfied – only lifting for a little over a year, mostly self taught with some pointers from friends, I’m happy with my progress.

I was able to squat 315 lbs. Happy. Now I need to get that for 5-8 reps and truly own that weight.
