My quads felt like piano strings today.  They were so tight it was hard to sit back into my squats.  I'm sure one or two were high because of my inability to deal with it.  Just another disappointment.  The clean and presses went really well.  My previous PR on strict press was 205 on a regular bar.  Jake made a snide comment about my training template today and I informed him that the strict press was a PR.  His response was that he was watching and it wasn't strict enough.  My response was simply, "Haters gonna hate!"  More on that later.

This Halloween some friends and I are going to go as these guys.
