Week 1 Day 1; Squats

First day of squatting, am I am surprised at how different this routine feels already.  On paper it looks like it should be pretty easy, but when I was in the working set and pushing myself beyond that 5+ mark...well, it was interesting to see how different this routine is going to be.  I have to admit, I like the idea of pushing myself towards and beyond some goal every time I'm in the gym.
