Not 100% recovered from the cold. Dammit.

Texas method recovery day.

Foam Rolling

Low Bar Squat (Paused)

I find that inhaling on the way down and perform the Valsalva maneuver just before pausing is a lot less tiring.

Also, runny nose + looking downwards (via Rippetoe-style squat) + pausing the squat is not very comfortable.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
