Had to cut short my session due to a sudden change in schedule, so didn't get much assistance work in. Squats were alright. The high rep set felt pretty good, but I was a little gassed after. I was feeling rather bloated from breakfast/brunch, so was just praying that I wouldn't puke after the squats, which I didn't thankfully. Decided to do one set of long pauses for pause squats just to ease myself back into it. Actually felt comfortable pausing it in the hole. I held the position just below parallel for the pauses.

Just a little concern, although it come pretty early since it's only the second week of the program; not feeling some heavy weight on my back feels kinda weird and worrying. However, I'm sorta taking this first phase as a deload to sorta recover from the meet. Shall continue and hope that this stretched out linear periodization works. cross fingers
