We were on this morning, felt strong. Decided to start pushing up the weights a bit.

10 warmups each of reg, sumo and sissy squats.

Barbell Squats: 4 sets, 15x95,12x105,8x110 (failed at the top of the 8th rep...my back started rounding forward so I stopped--because I wanted to make 10 reps I took off the added 5 lbs. and did two more), 8x110 (well, I already knew I could complete 8 reps so put the 5 lbs. back on.
Sumo squats: 3 sets, 12x65,10x75,8x85 (still getting a feel for these, the weights felt light, but because I feel a little rocky in the position. Will start will start higher next week.

Sissy squats; 12x0,10x0,8x10 -- added the weight plate for the last set. Actually, wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined. Will attempt to use the weight for at least the last two sets next time. Maricela and I did these holding either side of the Smith machine bar which happened to be at the ideal height. Felt good.

Front squats: 12x65,10x70,8x75 -- 75 seemed to be as high as I'd want to go on these at this point, last couple of reps were good, but a struggle.

We got in about ten minutes of stretching before we hit the showers.
