Notes
Worked out in my basement home gym for the first time today. I don't have a power rack yet so I had to power clean the bar into position for both lifts.

Notes
Squatting strength has declined. Maybe it's because of missing a few volume days, or trying out a wider stance, or both.
I'm finding with the wider stance, it's getting temporarily stuck halfway as I ascend upwards. Also I'm feeling pretty exhausted after the set (of 1 rep!).
Now that I think of it, it's probably a combination of both missing volume days (I find that 5x5 really builds up my stamina) and attempting a wider stance.
Time to get back on the 5x5 protocol.
