Squattage review :)
I thought both sets of 5 x 125 looked pretty good.
I thought 135 looked pretty damn good too, except last rep.
I thought 145 looked looked good as far as the knees staying forward, but neigher the shoes nor the head up/chin-up/attempt at chest up helped with keeping my chest UP...still pancaking, gah.

On the other hand, at least we know that the pancaking and the knees thing are unrelated. One step at a time?

I think the head up position just feels better so I'm going to continue to roll with it (no more experimentation), and work on staying totally focused...plant myself in position, focus, squat. I seem to look around a lot ;) Wandering eyes? hmmmm....

Great workout, felt really accomplished when I was done, and like I've been really getting some good work on my quads, I think they growed ;) Pretty wiped out tonight though...early to bed I think!
