Day (22) 16 Not sure how to post it!

Today was low reps heavy weights.  I feel pretty strong in my lifting at this time.  My original squat max was a guesstimate since I hadn't lifted much prior to this Squatober.    It seems to be pretty accurate but my strength has also increased so I think once I get to the max day I will be able to raise my limit.  The last rep at 92.5% was hard but I didn't need any help to finish out the exercise.   My goal is to see what kind of gains I can make over the month.  My original goal was to finish the challenge but now I am excited to keep progressing. It is a little sad that Squatober is over half way finished.   My wife and I at this moment are having to lift at different times.  She has feels that the extra reps she gets more out  of her squat but her full range of motion is getting closer every day.   I think that will help her low reps with more range of motion. Next onto what I noticed first time back at my home gym. I missed music to help motivate.  We always play music here but wasn't quite motivating enough.  I didn't have my keys to unlock the door to turn up the volume and didn't bring my headphones.  So I was stuck in the silence. Silence is nice but not when I am trying to stay motivated.  For me music can make the reps feel easier.  Maybe it ignites the central nervous system a bit or heightens the nerves a little.   What are your motivations for working out?   If something is missing does it keep you from completing your workout to it's potential?
