20 Rep Progress, Wednesday, Week 2

Not quite there, but I did manage to knock off 15 with 135 before bailing. I felt much better on Wednesday and my legs/butt felt surprisingly good. My back, however, felt like it was close to injury with the pressure on it and so I stopped at 15 when I could just not take it. My legs were shaking like crazy after 12 or 13, but I could still go up and down and my lower back was the limiting factor this time.

In addition to feelings better, I also got Starting Strength and read about 1/2 of the chapter on Squats. Great book with tons of information on each lift. How many books use 50 pages to describe one exercise!?! I feel like I had much better posture and form after reading it and applying some of the information I had gathered.

I guess this is the 135 week. I plan to keep it at 135 for Friday and hopefully hit my 20 reps so that next week I can start off with 140!

5 down, 13 to go!
