2 Sets of 3 Reps @ 80% of Today's Max

Daily Volume: 94
Weekly Volume: 204

Somewhat of a lighter day, both in terms of intensity and volume.  Despite that, my jerks felt heavy.  With the increased volume of squatting, I don't feel like I have any drive and pop.  The feeling is expected, so no real reason to get worked up about it.

My second session of squatting was great!  I ended up matching my current PR, so it's a good sign that I'm adapting well to the training.  I'm starting to feel more solid in the catch, stronger coming out of the bottom, and faster.  My increased speed is a sign that I'm doing a much better job at producing the maximal amount of force into the ground and the bar.
