Nice, consistent week man. I always talk about consistency on peoples logs but I just feel like sometimes the program isn't THAT important. Sometimes SHOWING UP and completing what is on your training program is the most important thing. YA know? Not missing weeks, workouts, etc. Good stuff. How long is that squat program?

If you can't even show up and lift, then programs, percentages, and exercise selection don't matter. I watched a documentary on bodybuilder Kai Greene and he talks about how it doesn't matter how many grams of proteins, carbs, and fat you are eating if you can't even prepare all you meals in advance. Different sport, same idea. On Weightlifting Talk and different interviews I always hear Donny Shankle talking about how you need to figure out how often you can lift and commit to it.
The squat program is 7 weeks long. Week two is under way.

Agreed. Great quote. If you're not committed you won't get anywhere.
I'm interested to see how the squat program works out for ya.

Yeah. This past week I missed 90 two or three times before hitting it. And jumped from 110 to 120 which is a big jump for me when I am not coming up on a meet. I switched from 6 days per week 5 five after the Twin City Open because I think I was training too much for how much I work and how little sleep I can get. Didn't recover as well from it as I did during the summer. Trying to focus on squatting during the week while going lighter on the lifts and variations.

I gotcha. yeah I can always tell if I am training too much if there is more than 1 or 2 days per week where I legitimately do NOT want to go into the weight room and have to drag myself there. Once that happens I know I have pushed a bit too far. There is a fine line between being a girl and being legitimately run down in lifting

True, true. If you're just dragging yourself through the motions you probably aren't going to get anywhere.
