Worked Legs and Shoulders last night, and really strove to push my legs harder than ever. Performed a deeper squat than usually and the difference is noticeable, both in appearance and feeling. For the longest time, I’ve been only half trying with squats, probably due to fear since I injured my back many years ago performing squats (improperly).

This time, I took a slightly wider than shoulder stance and squatted until my thighs were below parallel to the floor. IT WAS A CHALLENGE to say the least! I ensured that my knees did not extend past my toes, so the form was good. Although I had to lower the weight some, I feel that this will greatly improve the shape, size, and overall appearance of my legs. Shoulders were easy enough to do, and I’m starting to get that nice sweep in my delts as they separate from the upper arms.

For diet, I stuck to my nutrition plan almost completely, only missing the before bed meal of 4oz of cottage cheese and some flax oil. I find myself getting hungry between meals, but have avoided cheating.

This morning, I didn’t grab the Whey protein and milk shake that I’d made as part of breakfast. As a result, I will have to make up for those calories later.

Tonight will be Chest and Triceps, and I’m still energized from last night! It’ll be a slight struggle tonight as I have some conflicting appointments. I really wish I could just bodybuild full time!
