Squats on Tuesday! Why the heck not?
This is making up for my fail on Saturday AM, when I wasn't feeling the power. Of course, at 5PM when I've had a full day to think about it, I have plenty:
Squat
135 x 12
225 x 5
335 x 8 -- rep PR. My max formula says that means 415, which is consistent with the 1RM I hit a few weeks back. So I'm happy.
335 x 6
That's enough, gotta save a little for DL late this week, I'll be going to a cabin for the weekend and won't be able to hit a Saturday or Sunday session.
Interesting for me to look back to 2011 when I did my first meet. I opened the squat with 308, then took 352, then failed at 374. I'll very likely take my opener this upcoming meet at higher than my best lift from 2011. Right now I'm thinking maybe attempts of 175, then 185, then 190 (in pounds: 385, then 407, then 418).
