Got really motivated to get back to 400+ squats at the gym. Starting Monday I plan to squat 5x per week in the AM, working up to a 90% single. Then in the PM do my regular workout for the day.

Do you think it is a good idea to squat 5 times a week considering your recent knee issues.

strong question. seems like a lot of frequency to jump into.

Thanks for looking out, my knee feels 100% when squatting. I forgot I even had issues with it! I'll try it out to see how it goes.

I thought of doing this for the DB rows:

Works great to stop me from cheating, and it allows me to get full ROM as well! Plus I don't have to lean on something with one arm. This way I can do alternate arms during my set.

my legs get pretty sore from biking a lot. i ride my bike now instead of walking everywhere because i found a safe bike rack at my school. i should adapt sooner or later.

===========

Got a phone interview tomorrow morning with a big real estate company for a senior systems analyst position. wtf? senior?! Got the interview because this very helpful woman in my class has been trying to hook me up with a job since i help the class a lot and im a great student. her husband used to work at this company. they took her recommendation and looked at my experience (limited) and are calling me anyway.

Looked them up on glass door and theres 2 sen sys analyst positions and they each make 6 figures. i dont expect to get this job at all but ya never know!

on another note, met up with a recruiter at EY and she will send my resume to the technology recruiter. career fair is next week. i want to polish my resume for it. she already gave me a ton of good advice that will really help. my professor who works at deloitte will also fix my resume and send it to a recruiter. both companys pay pretty decent for entry level cyber security work. deloitte will be at the career fair next week as well.

damn. beast af RDL ..

also as far as senior level stuff goes.. I still don't even feel good applying to things like that.. i dno why. I have some decent experience now. When I didn't have any experience, I wouldn't even attempt to apply for something senior level. My self-confidence is perhaps a bit wrecked lmao. I guess it always has been. I've always had this voice in my head that doubts everything I want to do ... It's a constant battle... lmao. /raptor-moment.

^ Turns out their "senior system analyst" is just a catch-all term for anyone that works at their IT help desk. They have one help desk for the company. So really it's just a help desk position, but I told them I'm looking for around 75k per year base salary. they will interview me tomorrow

on the other hand i met a senior manager at deloitte at school today who does cyber security for them. we hit it off and he gave me his card, told me to email him my resume and that he'll give me input. he will also find out who the recruiter is for deloitte at the career fair this wednesday and have them expect me and make sure my resume makes it higher up. what an awesome guy. hes actually an adjunct professor at my school and teaches a cyber security class i didn't know my school offered. it's not part of the master's degree. kind of wish i could take it though. he also told me he could see me doing consulting (i told him thats what i wanted to do) since i seemed polished and engaging. nice to hear that after being told i'm shy my whole life pretty much.
