I know exactly what your talking about feeling like you gained 5 pounds the next day. Love that feeling.

What's the consensus on high rep squatting? I ask because I'm working on my form, my ankle flexibility, and my hip mobility and in order to do so I'm having to go to a lighter weight on my squat. Is it worth the time?
Alone, no, they will not increase strength. Hypertrophy is not a cut and dry issue, but high reps tend to become about muscular endurance and often leads to really shitty form since there will most likely be some major muscular imbalances. The hamstrings and glutes are the often the first to go and leads to rounding of the lumbar.

What you say makes sense. I am concerned with form over that amount of reps. I've decided that lifting wise, this will be the year of getting my squat in order. It's just hard to decide on the best plan of action, but I'm getting there. What's your thoughts on safety bars?
I hope someone would be down to check my squat and deadlift form. I can try to get a video up ASAP.
