amazing leg day today
i had an amazing leg day today!! for the first time in my life, i squatted 315 and not just once, but 3 times!!! i was told that i hit either parallel or below parallel every time, and it felt amazing!!! i changed my squat stance and i think its helped me with adding more weight and putting out more power. ive started to take a more powerlifters squat stance, which is a little wider then shoulder width. ive also started incorporating sumo-style deadlift into my lifts to help with quad and hamstring strength. i firmly believe that by doing so has not only made me stronger but will continue to allow me to increase my squat and increase my overall thigh size. ive also noticed my glutes are starting to shape a little more, so that is also a great thing since shaping your ass is pretty hard, especially if you have a naturally bigger behind then others. i cant wait to see what happens down the road. im hoping i can squat 405 by june/july. i cant wait!!! the only thing that sucks is driving home afterwards when you can barely walk after such a lift. o well, im not gunna stop anytime soon.

Leg days are awesome and sounds like you had a great one. I too like to deadlift sumo style, just seems to fit me better. Great job, keep on pushin!
