Squat

  • 425lbs: 2
    • Planned on performing only 1 rep, but since the first one was easy I contemplated going for another. I ended up thinking about for a few seconds and started to see stars. Still made the 2nd rep.

Notes

  • Tried a new way to warm up; did 1 rep during my last warm up set with a higher weight than my work set
  • Last warm up set for squat was 365lbs x 1
  • Last warm up set for bench press was 265lbs x 1
  • This makes the main set (which is a lower weight) feel much easier
