My right ankle was bothering me again today, it wasn't bad enough to stop the workout but it was bad enough to be on my mind most of the time. I took a cautious approach to the light plyo work, taking long rest intervals and was ready to pull the plug if at any time it got worse. I think it actually might have gotten better over the course of the practice, I find that it does sometimes--almost as if it continues to "warm-up" throughout the workout.
   I got up to 295lb's while squatting today for sixes, but my knees were buckling a little bit so I backed down to 285lb's for my last one. I am definitely getting stronger but unfortunately I am also very drained so I don't think I am going to see a huge jump in my strength levels until I de-load at the end of next week at the end of the first meso. I would like to be able to squat 405+ this season, I came pretty close last year (335lb's  for 5's) but I didn't maintain well and lost huge amounts of strength. Maintenance is going to be key this year if I want to get over that 15.00m barrier.
