It was good to get back pushing the weights. I could not quite find my correct numbers on the squats and the 1/4 squats. Towards the end I found them. The 225 lbs on the squats was 5 lbs more then I did 6 reps on the last strength 1 workout. So not a real PR, but it felt really good. I can't really count the 1/4 squats in any PR thing as they really are prep work for strength 3. Its amazing how hard just backing out of the squat rack with that much weight on was for me. I really wish we had a power rack at the Y that I go too. I needed a spotter just to make sure I did not trip going back in place and when putting the weight on. The actual lift was not that hard as the ROM was really small. My form got better on the last set of lunges so I think I will keep at this weight for another week to perfect my form. Overall a great workout and once again I think I am going to love Strength 2.
