Notes:
I have a confession to make...I've been using a pussy pad for my Squats. When I first started doing Squats, I was getting a bruise where the bar rests on my back, so I bought a pad. But I recently read that the pad can be dangerous because the bar can slip or roll easier, (and they're referred to as pussy pads) so no more pussy pad. It's not like I'm using a lot of weight anyway.

Speaking of Squats, they've been real hard lately. I know I haven't missed any reps, but I've been doing all I can do to get the reps in, maybe at the expense of keeping good form. I'm going to reset down to 160 and increase by 2 lbs every workout. This is working out good for my Military and Bench Presses, so I'll try it with Squats too.

I think my body has a lot better chance of keeping up with my workouts if I increase everything (except Deadlifts for now) by 2 lbs each workout. At 50 years old, I'm just not growing the muscle as fast as guys half my age do. 5 lb increases just are too drastic. Also, my diet is not hardcore, but I do eat pretty clean and try to get at least 200g of protein a day with servings every three hours or so.
