Leg Curls - 5 sets of 20

Decent session to kick off the new phase.  And my legs were KILLING me the next day.  Woke me up in the middle of the night it hurt so bad.  Just brutal.  2 days later, I'm all good.

220X8 on the Squat is in the ballpark of my best lifts the last couple of months.

Front squats felt pretty solid.  I've settled back on a pretty standard 3-fingers under the bar grip, only with my wrists rotated slightly inward.  This weight feels "light," however I kept feeling gassed towards the end of the sets.  Don't know if that's diet, sleep, or just need to get used to the 5X10 protocol on these.  Plenty of time to find out.

Leg curls suck.
