some highlights

squat- 265x5 (still not back up to max which was 285x5 but first time i have tried hard on them in a while so feeling good about it)

lat pulldowns have been feeling strong also

I feel stronger on the soccer field and i can overpower the people i have been practicing with so this is giving me some confidence to make up for my lack of technical skill right now.
