Week 9 day 2 - light week

Warm up
- stand still and let the gym make me sweat profusely... went through 2 shirts
- hips are still a little tighter than I'd like, but they're loosening up

Back squat
barx5, 60x1x5, 80x1x2, 100x1x2, 120x1, 140x1, 160x1, 180x1, 190x1, 200x1, 205x7 (belt on 2nd single)

Bench
75x5, 90x4x2, 105x3x2, 120x2x6

Been counting everything above 180 as one of my 10 reps. Spoke with Willie, and he says the singles should be an afterthought and to keep them light and easy-ish...

Was arching much better today, or at least keeping a very flat back. Around 160 or 180 I was right at parallel, then as I got a bit heavier the weight pushed me down into below parallel land. I don't like searching for depth, this way I just get set, and do my thing and I don't even notice that I'm going deeper, my back stays very tight and I keep a good position.

I like putting my belt on 2nd rep of my goal weight, I've done a lot of work without my belt now, and after I do a single no belt, I'm very confident for the rest of my workout, then it's just focus time and I just keep squatting my little heart out.

Low back is feeling it, but that will go away in another day or two I think.

Bench is light, the only challenging part was that I was sweating so much my hands and back were slipping. Going to just take this slow for a bit, not push it as hard as I did last time.
