SSB: 3@160, 3@185, 3+@205 (8) That last set was RPE 10, probably should have racked it after 6-7 reps. Squat is my weakest lift, but it has improved over the last 2 months doing this 5/3/1 program. My max back squat was 245 before starting this program. I'll probable back off on my AMRAP squat sets just a little for the remaining few weeks. RPE 10 is definitely not my goal. I have a pretty good idea of how many reps to shoot for (leaving 1-2 reps in the tank), but it's hard for me to adjust my expectations mid-set.

3 SS of tempo SSB 5@160 + 10 DB bench presses. Did 2 additional sets of BP for a total of 5x10.

3 sets of the following:
10 KB SL deadlifts per leg
15 back extensions
15 ab wheel rollouts

I've always struggle with Squat and it's been my weakest lift for the longest. I did 2 1/2 months on Average to Savage 2.0 and saw my 1RM go from 295 to 315. One thing that has really help my squat lately has been doing a bunch of hypertrophy work, 8-10 rep sets with around 70-75% of my 1RM.

I started a peaking program to prepare for a meet I have in November, and I squatted 325 the other night and the depth was solid. I am hoping to squat 335 at the meet.

I have been lifting, just been away from posting for a bit. Went to the gym today to work on strongman lifts and ended up in bench press-a-thon. One of the guys there corrected my form and I blasted a single for 365. That’s a 40+ pound PR. Never felt so good benching as I did today.

I was just as shocked as you are. All they really did was slide my feet out and told me to push through my heels. Lo and behold, I was much more stable and was able to translate a lot more power to to the press. I knew how to use my hips and leg drive before, but I did not realize that where my feet were were not optimal.

That’s cool. Sometimes you just gotta hit those main lifts and GTFO. Good numbers there.
