I hit yet another squat PR at 472.5lbs...that's +5 pounds from last week! Last Friday's workout made me feel like this.

This is my 5th squat PR in 6 weeks. Nuts.

So how am I breaking so many personal records week after week?

Part of it is because of my new Nike Romaleos 2 weightlifting shoes. Read my review on these  here.

I'm sure what I eat plays a role as well.

And I bet the creatine in my recent order from bodybuilding.com will only help me get stronger.

Anyways, here's a bunch of awesome articles I’ve come across this past week:
