Wednesday light squat

Warm up
bike
hip stretch
rollover into v sit
mountain climbers

Back squat
135x1x3, 225x1, 315x1, 365x1, 405x1, 440x10 singles

Deadlift
545x1, 565x1, 585xf - smoked my knee, and that just ruined me. My knees are very very sore. Was really not feeling deadlifts tonite, but did half decent. the belt was akward, but I'll get used to it.

Belt went on for my 2nd single with 440. Definitely made things easier, by the 3rd single my knees quit hurting during the squat... killed afterwards... by the 4th single I was feeling pretty ok. It was just work after that. I was very concerned with getting bentover and on my toes for my squats, but after watching the videos, I noticed I was pretty much full of shit, I focused on sitting back a bit more, and letting myself lean forward... worked very well, and whenever I try to go straight down, like on my front squats, I wind up falling forward. This way I was able to stabilize fairly well, and although I thought I was falling forward, turned out they were supposed to feel that way, lol.

Been noticing a scary compensation pattern, my right leg is tighter than the left, I've had a few problems getting that glute to fire, so I think my right leg is taking a bit more of the load, and my left side has been cramping up lately. Last time it was left leg and right side.
