I know I'm going lower on the weights for the unilaterals.. but I HAAAATE them!! Okay, that's no excuse.. But I'm legitimately struggling every time with them.. I just can't wait until I can drag my sled around all day instead. :(

As far as the box squat goes... The 5 reps at 265lbs went off very easily. Did the break make me stronger? No clue, but I'm going to try a 3RM at 285 or 295 next week, then go up in reps. I can probably break 300 by the time I get into Canada, but.. no rush, no rush.
