For those of you that have done Squatober in the past, what kind of gains did you see on your 1RM?

It's a weird feeling, but next Tuesday feels like Christmas to me. I just don't know if I'll be happy or slightly disappointed when I unwrap the present under the tree.

Me and my son both put like 45lbs on our squats last year. That was as new lifter (him) and recovering from a back injury (me). We both kept those strength gains forever tho and just continued to progress in PPSA.

I was a very new lifter. I believe I used 225 as my TM, but did 235x4 for my max. I didn’t push for a top single. Great squat gains then, and I expect it this time too. I just did 32 reps of 220 in ten minutes, so I’m pretty confident I can pump out a 260-275 lb single. Maybe more!
