Effing 280×4!
So today (not sat) was actual heavy back squat day. I am approaching 90% of 1 rm range (in fact it is over 90% if you consider my old 1 RM and even new lowest target (305) ) so belt was used. It is amazing how much difference belt makes for lower back soreness and pain - I didn’t feel anything in lower back today. So it was great.
Anyway squat workout was 265(no belt ) and then 270,275×4 (belted) .Then I thought what the heck - lets try 280×3. And I did it! even one rep more . So 280×4. Did also walkouts with 315 (damn heavy) and 335 (F@CKTON!!)
To put this in perspective in November 305 crushed me and I barely stood up with 290 . 3 Times a week squatting definitely works.
Also did some bench negatives (235 ,240 target 3 reps, but only done 2 for last 2 sets) ) and heavy 2brd presses (220-230 for 4 reps)
I am so paranoid about squat and bench so it does make it very important to hit training targets and so far I was more or less successful.
