9/3

Some little Asian kid took the squat rack, so I decided to use the Smith machine. I know, what a horrible choice. It actually was a pretty good workout I thought, plus it made me feel stronger. I kept myself to 5 sets and heavy weights, just to boost my explosiveness.

205x6
225x6
245x6
265x3
295x1 (Okay, there's probably little chance I could do a regular squat at this weight. What happens was, I kinda stopped right before midpoint, and then I was able to get it up with short little breaths. Probably in the real deal, it won't be so easy to just stop and continue. But at least I'm pretty sure I'm maintaining.)

So I actually looked up the difference between Smith Machine and barbell squats in terms of 1-rep maxes, and it appears to be 5%. So I guess that translates to a 1-rep max of about 280 on the squat, which I'll definitely take.
Plus, the 295 got 1 big brown guy in the gym to be like "I could never do that". So it was worth it.

Also did about 50 crunches and a set of curls with 40 pounds. I did 7 1/2 reps with them so that's an improvement.
