My squats are feeling a little better now that I've gotten suggestions on some more stretches for my tight left hip flexor. But it's still an issue I've got to work on daily. Plus I got some new shoes. Since when did chuck taylor's get so damn expensive?!

Squats
3 sets of 6 - 145
worked up to some singles of 185 after my working sets

Sumo Deadlift
2 sets of 6 - 190
1 set of 3 - 205
worked up to 2 singles of 250
(I take a good few minutes to break between each set because they're each so demanding)

And that's all I lift for leg day!

and believe me, that's enough for me to need a nap lol. I finish with 20 minutes on treadmill then another 15 minutes at least to stretch. Taking that long to stretch has made a difference in flexibility (obviously) but it's also helped my muscles grow. Since I started making myself take the time to stretch I've been able to lift heavier and I've ripped through 2 pairs of jeans...That speaks for itself lol

My weight was at 159.4 when I woke up this morning. I'm losing a little more fat, but I would more likely guess that my water weight is fluctuating.
Awesome lifts!

I Ned to work on stretching more after as well(I know it'll help stretch the muscle to grow(as you mentioned)...
