243.2
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I got it in my head that I wanted to go to the gym and work on Squats, so that's what I did.
Strength:
Back Squats
5 reps at 95
5 reps at 135
5 reps at 155
3 reps at 185
3 reps at 195
3 reps at 205
3 reps at 215
1 rep at 220
1 rep at 225
1 rep at 230
1 rep at 235
1 rep at 240
1 rep at 245
Fail at 250
1 rep at 250
3 reps at 255 with partial ROM
Obviously did pretty good here today. One key I think was making sure I waited several minutes between sets, especially as the loads went up. It was surprising though, even though it was heavy, how light the bar felt even up at 235 and 240.
Next workout, I'm thinking maybe 3 x 3 at 215 then 2-2-2 starting at 220. This Thursday might be a good night to do that. Then we test the following week and hopefully I can knock out 255.
Something to research is that on the heaviest loads, it felt like it was my back that was failing, not my legs. That might just be perception though.
Food:
Yogurt Mix
Pork Quesadilla
Jerky
Salmon
2 slices of pizza
peanut butter
2 drinks
