2016-12-27: Figured out whats wrong with my squats

So, my squats have been weirdly weak.  I finally figured out why before going to the gym today.  I used the Smith Machine to squat on Dec 8th, forcing my body to use a different bar path.  I didn't return to using a proper bar path after just one session on that dreaded contraption.  Todays focus was bar path.

Todays lifts

Barbell Squat

5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
5x5x120kg (yeah!)
1x140kg

That went as it should.  Focused on proper technique, and the lifts were easy.  Not super-easy, but they went up.  Satisfied.

Bench Press

20x20kg
5x40kg
5x60kg
3x80kg
4x5x100kg
4x100kg

Whee, only one missed rep.  

Barbell Row

2x5x60kg
5x5x80kg
