Trained legs today without mirrors

Some of you might have read that my gym is moving and is in shambles right now. There are no mirrors on any of the walls and tonight was leg night. Anyway, everything went well except for hack squats and regular squats. The real trouble came when I went into the squat rack. When I was doing my warmups and working set I couldn't tell if I was getting under the bar evenly and then when I tried to rack it I missed a couple of times because I rely on the mirror to see if I'm above the hooks to set it down. Talk about hazardous training....I never realized I used the mirrors for more than watchin the girls.

Does anyone here train at home/gym where there are no mirrors?
 
i use to train at home, but I went to a glass store and bought a 4X8 mirror for $100 and hung it in my garage

when i moved, i sold all my stuff because we had to live in an apartment for 11 months ( i had no where to put it)

i would rather go to the gym anyway
 
Mirrors everywhere now, but I've trained w/o 'em before. I always try to set the rack up so there's no if's and's or but's r.e. whether its racked. Just walk forward and drop it if need be. LOL.

I do like the mirrors b/c I use 'em for my "smoke n' mirrors" routine that makes my legs look big - I block anyone's actual view of my legs and make sure they can only see me in the mirror that makes me look like a monster... LOL!!

Well I didn't have to squat tonight but hacks were ok without the mirrors (cept I couldn't check my hair). I just looked up to the ceiling and pulled my internal power from the flourescent lights! :surprised
