Sprints were OK, my foot was bothering me today. Must had been the weather. Today was the best squat day I’ve had in a while. I could barely handle 3 x 5 w/ 315 earlier in the summer. Today it was easy, I guess the pause squats I did in the summer helped, along with the density training. I should also note that I have just started taking the supplement Piracetam. I took it before class and didn’t see any difference in alertness, but during the workout I noticed some alertness.
