I decided to give the old 5x5 a try on squats since my knee is feeling very good lately. 5 reps is really the heaviest i want to go right now, no reason to push the knee TOO far. overall a very good workout, good amount of energy and strength was high today. the first two sets with 365 were very easy, the last two sets were a biotch.
i really like rest/pause for calves, i have always had big calves but i notice that rest/pause really makes them sore the next day or two.
My goal is to hit 405 for 5 reps by the end of the year...i'm right on track.
