Lower Body Strength Workout and Pushing the Limits

Squats- 135x10, 225x5, 275x1, 315x5, 335x5, 355x5! 
MTS Squats- 250x10,x10
Leg Press super slow negative- 8platesx12,x12, 10 platesx10
Stiff Deadlifts- 225x10, 315x6
Leg Curls- 110x10, 125x8,x6

Today I hit 355x5 for full ATG (ass to grass-super low) squats.  When I first started training I would do squats with the bar (45lbs) and 2 quarter plates for a total of 95lbs! I never thought that I would ever be able to work up to putting 355lbs on my back and be able to squat down to the ground and get back up. It feels great to look back and see what progress one can make when you always push yourself. Even adding just 2.5-5lbs every week makes a difference over months to a year.
