I love squat day; it seems to put things back in the right place in mind and body.

A rack opened almost immediately and I warmed up with the bar and many reps with 135. A set of 5 with 185, another couple sets at 225; a set at 255. Then three sets with 275 - 2 reps, 3 reps, and 2 reps. Very solid. Finished with a set of 10 at 225. Elliptical and shoulder mobility to cool down and done.

Next squat session should go back over 300 for the work sets. The idea is to peak just before Woodland. I'm also very aware that this is my danger period. Nearly every year I've tweaked something a month or so before Woodland that required a couple of weeks down time. This year I really would like to go into Woodland at full strength. However, it may be the weather that's the nemesis this year. With my plan to throw this afternoon, it now looks like we may be rained out. And rain is forecast for this weekend once again.
