Texas Method volume day.
Decided to go back to "lower volume" volume days for squats after a couple of weeks of higher volume.
So it's back to:
- low bar squat: 5x3
- high bar squat: 3x5
- 30 total squat reps
Previously it was:
- low bar squat: 5x3, 2x5
- high bar squat: 5x5
- 50 total squat reps
Felt more aches in my knees and body than usual, and didn't want to experiment my way to an injury.
