I did not feel great today. I spent my squat sets really focusing on form, trying to arch hard at the bottom and stay more upright. On my 3+ set, I felt like I started falling forward in the hole on my 3rd rep, and my speed was slowing way down, so I made the decision to stop at 3 rather than grind out the 2 more I think I could have gotten.

Since I was trying to work on form, I did 5 more sets of squats to keep drilling it home. I cut two of those short at 8 because I felt like my form failed. We finished with

Called it a day.

The quote at the beginning is supposedly Marx, though I can't figure out where it's originally from. It seems to exist only on websites that compile quotes. I don't care. I like it.
