Notes: Pretty solid day in the gym today. I think I figured something out with my squat. Since I am squatting high bar, breaking with the hips and shoving my knees way out doesn't do me much good. Despite this, I was still doing it. Well today I focused on cueing "knees forward" to start the descent and I would hit the hole in much better position. I will remember this for next time as I think it helps me keep my back anle more upright at the start of the squat which is critical to proper execution.
After how 265 felt today, I really thought I was going to be able to hit 300, but 285 damn near didn't go. Oh well, onward and upward.
As for programming, I am again going to change. I think I need to hit a relatively heavy single in order to work form under strain. After hitting a good, solid feeling single I will back off and do 4-5x2-3 pause squats as a supplement to regular squats.
