I had no intentions of going particularly heavy in today's workout. It's been almost a week since my last workout, and though my back is currently feeling pretty good, I didn't want to overdo it. Had I just done either squats or deads and not both, I would have gone heavier.

Mark Rippetoe Quote of the Day:
"In my gym, you get spotters, you safely dump it backwards loaded with the bumper plates, or you learn how to accurately judge your ability. If you dump the bar on rails or pins or anything else in here, I will beat the cum out of you with the remnants of the bar."
