Form change is basically to do with knees. They go in at the start of the concentric, and then OUT as I go past the sticking point. This is new for me, it's the antidote to the squatmorning sickness I so desperately needed to cure.

you are using too much weight if you had to grind the knees to get the rep. uneven stress on the knee is not healthy specially when supporting near-max weight.

True raptor. I'd been meaning to ask KF about that. How important is your kalf training to your squatting prowess? Would you recommend I start to train my calves too if i'm after a stronger more athletic squat?

not important but more lean mass on the calves is always a good thing. helps keep your ankles healthy.

Respeck. If you ever wanna try your hand at internet coaching im putting my hands up as a keen volunteer. Would love to have VMO's like that, i didnt' even know such a muscle existed lol :P

i spent most of my time in the 6-8reps x 6-8sets when i was lifting up to 385s (2.0-2.1BW max). 

my vertical summit journal is full of those rest-pause squats without unloading the bar.. very high volume. long rest. protein overload.

* BW210#7. 7.5hr sleep. not 465 strong and the 455 felt heavier than yesterday. this is my weakest. the 14th straight heavy day put up a big fight. the hard part is over. time to recover sleep until wed.
* i want to do a forced deload and stop the heavy days at 14 but i don't want to waste all the good sleep il get on my non-work days. might end up going for the 16th day or go apeshit to 21.

* BW210#3.  8hr+ sleep. 455 went up smoothly without much effort. 470 strong today.  so much sleep and a bit of a higher carb diet. planned to sleep most day time but was already up from my 3am-12pm sleep. also took a post workout nap yesterday at 4:30-6:30pm.  will relax in bed from 4:00pm-5:30pm and see if i can nap again.
* thought about going for a 21 straight heavy days.. might be too much. 14 might be a good number also. will limit top set to 455 during the sub 8hr work nights and see if i can get this going. did the calf raises within 2 day rest. taking too many days off puts some no-use DOMS.

* BW210#2. 8hr+ sleep. 455 did not feel very heavy but i did not have a lot of energy even with so much sleep. i might be pushing this ~ 1:1 protein/carb diet. feels like a good time to bump up the carbs a bit by adding cups of rice.
* 4-day work week starts tmrw night. i have a good chance to maintain this heavy top set pace if i do my workout tmrw afternoon ~5:00pm and sleep that whole wed morning. this will minimize the time gap that i am awake.

* BW210. 8hr+ sleep. was expecting to move the 465 with a little less effort coming from  good sleep and diet. got it up silently but would have failed a 470 today. a good weight to get an 8-day PR.
* will track BW210 (#1 today) and see if i can hold this for 20+days.

* BW209. 3+5 hr sleep. the 2nd set of sleep midday sunday got me awake already after 3hrs last night. got another 5hr after a heavish breakfast. ties PR for 7 straight heavy days. calf raises-leg press deloaded back to 9x45s each side. the 10x45s are tiring my lower quads fast.

* question about the volume of training - the heavier you lift, the more important recovery/rest becomes.
