Another day training in a big box gym.
Plenty of dudes with jacked upper bodies and...not so jacked lower bodies.
The power rack (Hammer Strength) is narrower than the rack I have at home, so I have to be careful not to get my fingers caught onto the J-hooks (my hand position is a bit wide when performing low bar squats). However, looking at the mirror when re-racking the bar seems to help avoid this problem because I can see where my fingers are in relation to the J-hooks and course-correct if needed.

- Wanted an "easy" 10 rep max, but only got 7 until I gassed out. Got 6 reps with 460 lb last week, and I did 8 reps with 440 lb before, so this is a bit disappointing. Also, I've done 10 reps with 405 lb for the high bar squat, so I thought low bar would be no problem. Gah.
- Might be because I'm training later on in the day (around 4 PM today) instead of starting at the usual 10:30-11:00 AM. Ah well, I'm sure I'll get used this as time goes by.
