Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / WTF my squat dropped ~70lbs!!!
« on: January 20, 2012, 12:50:00 pm »
Post finished. I don't understand how I went from 405x4 to 335 in about a month.
Here's some squat history:.
Basic set up:
Heavy day - 1x4, 2x7
Light day - 1x2
Heavy day - 1x4, 2x7
Eventually i switched from mon-wed-fri to mon-wed-sat because it fit my schedule better.
By the end I deloaded. Notice I started from 335x4 to 405x4 in just 7 weeks or so. A lof of my log data deleted so not everything is 100% accurate until the 4th week. But I DO recall gaining 10lbs a week on my 4RM.

Mon - 405 x 4 notice i did this TWICE, it was a consistent 4RM
Wed - 365 x 1
Fri - 405 x 1 (de-loading)
Tue - 405 x 1 (de-loading) but 405x1 felt VERY difficult
Fri - 405 x 1 (end of de-load)
Tue - 405 x 1 VERY difficult, thought I would go for 405x3 but couldn't
Sat - 355 x 5 | 355 x 5 | 355 x 5 extremely difficult
Tue - 345 x 5 | 345 x 5 | 345 x 3 Couldn't even do 3 sets of this
Sat - 345 x 5 | 345 x 5 | 345 x 5 Barely went up
Thu - 335 x 5 | 335 x 5 | 335 x 5 Continued decline in weight, this was near failure
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?!
What could be the cause for my plummeting squat gain?
FWIW, I was the same weight of the 405x4 thru 355x5. THEN I started to cut weight (lost 3 pounds so far, that's it).
