Comment:

That squat workout calculates out to a 284 lb. 1RM.  I have no idea how accurate that is at that rep range, but one way or another, that lift is proof that over the last few months, I've gotten much, much stronger.  So, what's changed?  I can identify four things:

1.  I'm more rested than I've been in quite some time.
2.  I've put on a little weight, but nothing significant.  It has not been through the best of eating, so I do not believe much of it has been muscle.
3.  I've spent the last two months doing unilateral leg work, albeit with not a ton of weight.
4.  I'm squatting in Vibrams.  (Like squats themselves, they cure cancer.)

I don't know which of those are contributing or not, but whatever it is, I'm excited about it.
