The squat is getting challenging now but everything else is moving along nicely. Feels great to be gaining strength and size!!

Workout 7/8 (gained some more weight. All of the the lifts felt good! My garage is sloped and its a pain to get the DL set-up. There is no good way to do it without pulling the bar to you and trying to make the form as reproducible as possible. I cant do the typical 5 step process due to the weight rolling a little forward if I do not hold the bar.
