37 sets today. 13 of bench and 9 of squats (including warm ups).

Today is the awesome bench pyramid and heavy squats.

Dean is leaving for Vegas so we trained at 10:30 am. This is right after I wake up, which is no good for me.

With my new squat form, I force my knees out really hard (like I'm supposed to). This works great for keeping me healthy, but weights above 70% (like the four sets today) really stress my glute's ability to keep the knees out. The result is my hips shooting up, just like old times. I will need to really hammer the glutes on rehab days while avoiding overtraining. Fun times.

Keep an eye out for Monday's log + videos. Dean will be using his katana for the first time.
