Going live with Game Day!
Just did my last warmup triple at 315. About to start the singles.
365 x 1 - check
405 x 1 - check
455 x 1 - check
485 x 1 - check, but it was tough. Not sure if I'll get back to 500, but gonna give it a go. If you don't hear back from me, tell my wife and kids I love them. :signofthecross:
500 x 1 - big MF check!
500 matched lifetime PR. Went for new lifetime PR of 505 and just didn't have it in me. Think I could have gotten it if I had just jumped from 485 to 505.
Satisfied with 500 though. Just started back lifting in early August after about a 6 month hiatus. 500 is what I hit last Squatober too.
Now on to bench...
Hit 315 x 1. Lifetime PR is 325. But PR before starting Squatober was 285.
So Squatober 2022 is in the books with +35 lbs on squat, +30 lbs on bench.

Just heating up my chili right now. Should be nice and hot in about 15 minutes.
1 rep max before was 315. Just hit 345 and loading 365 on the bar. I don't have a spotter so succeed or fail, this us my last squat. Nailed it! New PR 365. I had more in the tank, but without a spotter or spotter arms, this was enough.
On to bench. Frick me. Got my 13 year old to spot me. Hit a PR at 295. Went for 300 and on 1st lift, instead of helping me lift it off the rack he was looking at the wall and had all his weight resting on the bar...scratch. Lift 2, he helped me get it off, but then proceeded to grab it when I didn't need help...scratch. Lift 3 halfway up and I couldn't get it and he wasn't close enough to help me bump it up so it got to rest on my chest while he pulled some plates off... scratch. Guess I'll be proud of 295...for now.
(By the way, not mad at my son. This isn't really his thing so I was happy for him to want to help me.)
Squatober kicked arse and looking forward to the Arm Farm. Hopefully I can get this tendonitis under control.

Man yall are hitting some big numbers!
I think I'm the only one that failed to hit a PR. Extremely disappointed.
I got 300 when testing my max before squatober. Started with a 270 lb TM. After hitting 277.5 lbs I jumped straight up to 315 because I wanted those 3 plates but I failed twice so that was a mistake. Dropped down to 305 but i was pretty taxed already. I started shaking during the rep so I came back up without going deep enough.
Gonna try to get one on bench and save face.
225 on bench. Up from 215

No belt 315 1RM up from 265. 300 was the goal. I think I can hit 400 with time & a belt. Not bad for an, ahem, older fella.
