Notes: Another great day today! This week has also been the start of a new semester, so it feels great to have everything going so well right now. Regarding the squat workout, I never really realized how lifting in kilos kind of messes with your head after spending so much time lifting in pounds. It feels good to make the transition though. I haven’t squatted in what feels like a long time (well over a month) so it feels good to get back to this lift and still improve from last time. The met con workout was good today too. A TON of opening and closing the hips which is a necessity for not only Oly lifting but really any athletic movement.
