-Notes-
I should have used 375 for the work set, but I really wanted to use 375 as a test for my beltless squat with light wraps/knee sleeves. I will go up to 405 for the belt and heavy wrap sets for the rest of the cycle and try to get multiple singles and then doubles with it. But I should do some back off volume after the heavy stuff.

I was unusually aware of my right quad during the squats. I felt it "kick in" on almost every ascent over 225.

Lastly, my light wraps were so loose that I was able to keep them on the entire session until it was time to change out to the heavy wraps for the work set. It was the coldest day so far this fall in Northern  California and my left knee still had fluid in it. So I had to keep my knees warm and provide some support at the bottom. I will be doing this a lot from here on.
