Squat heavy. ~80-85% of my training max.

I'll call tonight a success as I didn't bugger myself up again. Threw in the pin squats as something different than paused squats. I also remembered doing one of Rex's pin squat programs a ways back with good success.

I do have some kind of cold or something wearing me down though. No coughing and such but I've been having some sneezing fits and am really tired. Deadlifts should be fun tomorrow.
