Notes:

* Hamstring is at the point where it’s only in pain while I’m moving, and even then it’s typically at the bottom range of a squat.  Definitely moving in a great direction, but I still have to be careful.  I was getting speedy on some of those squat reps, and I could feel it starting to twinge and loosen up a little.  The temptation to move fast is, of course, there, because I want to be DONE with those goddamn squats.  Still double wrapping, but getting looser and looser with it.

* I still am not prepared for the wild “exponential fatigue” effect of these squats.  Between rep 24 and 25 I aged 100 years.  I felt fine on rep 24, went for 25 and it was like getting hit with a bomb.  I actually good morning’d the squat out of nowhere.  We’re really finding the bottom here.  

* The squat set itself is interesting.  Unlike the first time I ran the program, there’s no fear or anxiety.  There’s not really anger either.  I honestly feel like it’s more like resignation, but that term has a bit too much negativity to it.  I feel like someone who is accepting their fate of execution with dignity: denying the blindfold, no last words: this is the fate I earned.  I feel like a part of that is how much my lungs aren’t what hold me back here: it’s my body.  And not even my muscles but just my connective tissue.  It’s just a game to make sure it all stays in place for the set.

* Still a big fan of how all the other movements continue to get stronger through out.
