Thanks guys.
The failing was bad, I know. But I did get two reps before that, so I think I proved I can do it. They were fast, too. I didn't have to grind it out at all.
I probably won't be hitting a 20 rep squat any time soon. Next week is low volume (after this week's high volume) which means PRs. Which means possibly a 325 squat. I can't give up the opportunity of a 325 squat.

Nice job on the squat. Congrats.
And, yeah, it sounds a little strange to try to write it out, but the visualization is vital. It works.

I forgot my book in my locker when I went to the weightroom, so I'm going by memory here.
OH press - January 14
OH press
145x3x3
bentover row
205x4
195x6x4
bs push ups
+45x8x3
bwx12x2
neutral grip pulldown
180x6x5
side raise 35x8x3
db curl 35x10,8
elbows out extension 35x8,6
wide grip rows to chest 135x8x2
ab circuit
pulldowns suck. the seat is so high (or the cable so low) that I'd have to reset the weights if I want to extend my arms fully. So they're all like partial reps, but it seems to be harder that way, which confuses me. oh well.

Noooooooooooooooooo! I've always been anti-myspace and anti-facebook. With the realities of this changing world, I am beginning to think that perhaps facebook will become a necessary evil as a networking tool, especially since I intend to enter the business world. Imma fight it as long as I can  |

I was going to fight it, but everyone has it. And I want to meet people. And really, say an old friend wants to get in touch with you. Chances are they're going to search for you on facebook first. If you don't have facebook, they won't find you. Sensical, no?
I will forever hate myself for doing this though. At least, until I meet some pretty lady on facebook. Then I'll congratulate myself on a good decision.
