Sun Mar 20, 2011 Squat - up to 700 lbs
Funny, how now I am calling a light squat day, squatting only up to 700 lbs. But, I am still feeling not recovered, so my plan was to take an easier squat day and only go up to my opener. The plan was to test 700 lbs as an opener.
145 x reps
235 x 6
full gear on, briefs and suit straps down
415 x 3
straps up
505 x 2
knee wraps
620 x 1
700 x 1
Both felt heavier than they should have. The last time, two weeks ago when I squatted 700 it felt light. So, I decided that 700 is too much weight for an opener, because some days it feels iight and others its too heavy and when I travel and go through a three hour time zone change, things may feel different. Plus, in training I am only squatting two lifts over 700 lbs, so if I opened with 700, I would have to do three lifts over 700 and I am not trained for that. My plan now is to open with 300 kgs instead and make it easier on myself, then go to 7 something for a second attempt.
