Best squat sets I've had, ever. I was real happy with the depth and dldnt belt up at all. I found out I really need to warm up my ankles with my new technique.

Ok set, tried to pinch my shoulder blades together but I think I lost it as soon as I unracked it. Had to grind out the last rep.

I'm really starting to feel strong on these, my elbow is getting better mostly because I'm not messing around with any isolation arm work I think.
Fun facts to know and tell:
-some powerlifter looking guy came into the gym today, never seen him before. He started counting all the 45lb plates in the gym like there weren't going to be enough for him for his bench workout. I got kind of scared and hoarded my measly amount.
-anyone else doing 5 x 5 just feel a lot more manly? Maybe it's the sound of the plates hitting the floor as you deweight the bar, or the fact you're living in the squat rack. Regardless, I'm considering walking around with the permanant lat spread swagger.
-saw an old guy (60 +?) was deadlifting 275 for reps. Maybe only the 2nd guy I've seen doing deads since I've been at Bally's. Props to him.
