As you can see, my squatting was terrible. I don't know what it is with my legs, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding power when I come up. I don't feel confident under the bar at all. I literally was doing 20 rep squats with 185 a while back, and now I can barely squeeze out 5 reps. The only redeeming thing is that I'm going the deepest I've ever gone. No joke. At 185, I actually went so deep that I hit the crossbars in the squat rack on my 5th rep... which was partly why I couldn't get it up. I bounced around and then ended up just dropping it.
Rows went very well.
RDL's were intense. I haven't done them in a long time, and my hamstrings were crying like a little girl. Felt really good though. You should really, really do RDL's. Here's my post on them:

And biceps were....well biceps. Nothing new.
I'm pissed about squats, but happy about the rest of the workout. And BTW, I did the entire thing in 1 squat rack.
