    so I 5RM and 3RM PRed today! Which is great, but my form is well... lacking... So I think I need to swallow the ego and drop the weight a bit to really nail the bottom of the squat. Maybe even hit some box squats.
    Here's the damage:

    Back Squat:
    125x8
    145x5 (PR!)
    150x3
    155x3
    157.5x3 (Also a PR!)

    Lunges: 16kg Kettlebell

    I <3 my stability ball, just FYI. It's the biggest one I could find!

  3. Kat: Diet numbers

    Total: 1532 Calories
    Macros:
    Fat: 40.41 (363.69 cal) 24%
    Carbs: 136.12 (544.48 cal) 34%
    Protein: 162.53 (650.12 cal) 42%

    Much better protein, but the carbs were a little higher than I would of liked. I'm getting closer to a perfect makeup though!
