Great squat today, 174 lbs felt like 110. My form was better than ever and felt really natural.   ;D
Chins was surprisingly hard, I've gained about 3-4 lbs since july but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Got a pump from H*** in my arms. By the way I measured them yesterday 15,15" cold and flexed!

Form on squats better. My hips have a tendency to initiate the ascending when weights get closer to 220, at 209 no probs. Today I managed to fight it, so a small but important victory for me!  ;)

My training partner had me narrowing my stance on squats, since I apparently had widened it when reaching heavier weights.
Made a lot of difference for me regarding form and performance.
Dips=easy, chins=not as easy but easier than I expected! ;D
