Tuesday, 7am. Location: Golds Gym. Its leg day. Time to get my amp up.  As I exceed the recommended dose of NO xplode, I know I am ready to get under the bar.  I think to myself on the way there, “What if the old guys are doing something stupid in the power rack?”  It puts me on edge.  Upon arrival I am relieved to see that this is not the case.  The rack is mine.  I set it up to catch the bar, because I know that, on this day, I will be squatting to failure. I proceeded to do so with a silent, focused enthusiasm. I got up to 345 for my last set. I was too in the zone to remember anything else from that lift.  I then finished with 7 or eight sets of legpress at around sevenhundo for the heavier sets.  I have been focused on strengthening my glutes and hams. They have presented themselves as my weaknesses in some of my more compound lifts. (squat, dead, clean)
