Found a place to put pins that really forces me to arch.

Third time squatting this week, felt fairly difficult. Also blood pressure seemed high (??).

Week #3 done. By far highest intensity & volume...week 4 should be similar (I think higher). Squats weren't difficult in an absolute sense -- I still got all the reps pretty easily. But harder than I expected. I also seemed to push my blood pressure up really easily. I started getting veins standing out on my forehead, which I can't remember ever happening before. Don't know what in hell this means, though.
Some girl was doing sumo deadlifts today. I think things are going to continue getting more ridiculous until I come in a few weeks from now and see a 80 year-old female professor doing board presses in a Katana.

I think the feeling of high blood pressure and "difficulty" in a program like that comes from fatigue accumulating from the frequency of doing the lifts.
