Well, Rep Squat Day definitely made up for the perceived easiness of Heavy Bench Day yesterday. I wasn't able to get through all the prescribed sets as I had to break up my pause squats into 4 sets of 5 instead of 2 sets of 10. Pause squats are killer, especially after already having squatted a whole mess of work sets. I'm definitely still adjusting to the higher reps with this program, and also really trying to make sure my form doesn't break down at any point. I feel like I have zero concept anymore of where parallel is when I squat. I am so paranoid about being no-repped multiple times at competitions that I think I drop too low and lose a lot of force and tightness in the hole, but at the same time I figure if I want to make sure I get clean lifts in competition I should probably just learn to squat ass-to-grass and add weight as I'm able.
My left knee held up decently well, it still bothers me randomly but I was able to get through all my planned work tonight so I'm happy with that.
And, as I assumed it would be, Friday evening training at TPS was awesome.
