Yeah, so I really don’t know what to say about today’s workout except that it was flippin’ sweet. I woke up with sore legs (from Yoga Wednesday night I think), didn’t feel very rested, but I wanted to do ATG squats again. I was planning on doing light speed squats with a wide stance, but that seemed too boring. Warmups through 405 felt heavy and tight, but I figured I’d do a single with 455 just to do something heavy. 455 felt heavy, but I decided to give 495 a go. That would be the heaviest I’ve gone since I did 485 for a tough single in early August almost 4 months ago. I got really pumped up/psyched for 495 and totally annihilated it for 5 strong reps despite just squatting with intensity on Monday. I could have hit 3 more reps, I think. This was only 10lbs under my all time ATG squat PR…so I’m going to dominate when I go for something heavier after being fresh and rested to go. Low bar is feeling wonderful. Very natural now. After the 495 PR I did 225 for a really cake 20 repper. Strict Good Mornings finished my hams off in a good way.
