Wow, what a mile stone. Todays workout reflects the importance of todays post. I'm finally fully recovered from my surgery on 19 July so I wanted to start back with some heavy squats. Here's my first day back.

Treadmill Work - 20min (5 min fast walk, 5 min quick jog, 10 min fast walk) 310cal.

Squats - Bar/12 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/6 reps, 275lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/1 rep.
*put on belt and wrist wraps*
Squats - 315lbs/2 reps, 365lbs/1 rep.
*put on suit, belt, and wrist wraps*
Squats - 365lbs/2 reps, 405lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/2 reps.

*super set*
Lying Leg Curls - 3 sets, 12 reps, 45/70/80lbs.
Hypers - 3 sets, 12 reps, 0, 10, 10lbs.

Donkey Calf Raises - 2 sets, 8 reps, 240/300lbs.

I'm getting used to my squat suit and it feels very comfortable (compaired to my Z suit). Next is to get used to my Metal Deadlifter. I'm shopping for some new squat footwearand I don't want to spend big bucks. So far Converse is on the top of my list. In particular these .

Looking good after just coming back from surgery.
I would suggest a heeled shoe for squatting since you aren't an overly wide squatter you'll be better off.
Here's a couple cheaper shoes: http://torontoweightlifting.com/shopshoes.htm
