Tonight's training was on squats and push press, since I spent a lot of time on resting between sets on the squats, I didn't have that much time for anything else. From the bar to 635lbs, I was coming up quickly off the hole. I felt great tonight, even though I felt strain in my back and knee yesterday. I will be doing more volume next month and focus on going deeper on the squats. I plan on getting 705lbs next month.
For the push press, I haven't gone heavy in about a month, because of my knee. Also, I haven't done plyometrics in a bit as well. My knee feels better, so I'll start incorporating them next week. Before the workout, I spent about 15 minutes on the foam roll and corrective stretching. I was primed to go heavy from the get go.
