BS 6x120, 3x135KB, 3x157.5KB(PR), 4x145KB, 5x135

Notes:
I wanted a PR and i decided to go for 3x157.5kg. Got it, next time will go for hte big 160kg milestone for a triple. 1rm calculator suggests i need to triple 170kg to be a 180kg squatter? That seems out of my reach i think considering how hard the 170kg single was when i did it in december and i struggled to do doubles with 160kg in january.

I ate half a pizza with my brother for dinner. Ate clean the rest of the day and only had one meal so i think my calories are still fine. But once a week i will allow it, im going to try be a flexible athlete not a zealot.

horry shiet, you are 6'3 and maxing out at 175 kg?

Not sure what my current max is b/c  i havent tested a max in a while (december) and when i did it was after bball training earlier that day and i managed a 170kg single b/c i couldn't rep 150kg for volume that i was going to do that day. Im stronger now but not sure how much stronger. Hoping to find a new gym so i can start a new cycle and get 180kg by end of summer while getting my abs back..

Squat PR today would be nice but idk R hamstring kinda achy.

BS 6x120, 10x135KB(PR), 6x100

Notes:
My erectors were STILL not recovered but i decided to force a PR despite 120kg warmup being heavy on my back and it suggested my spine wasn't really up for squatting any PRs. I GM the last couple of reps (vid on insta) .. but all things considered, on a fresher day i would have nailed them. So lets just take it as a good effort on a bad day and build on it from here. Will improve next week.



So this is good info, estimated 1rm is now 180kg. I want to get my 10 rep PR to 140kg, then i will be more confident about that 180kg max. And even more accurate will be PR 8x150kg which is what I want to attain asap and maintain into the comp.

i think the further away your rep range gets from singles the less accurate it is as an indicator of 1rm. fast hit 315*10 and his highest single is 395.
dont see a lot of higher rep ranges in your log, you might be deficient there. those higher reps might be where a lot of the gains are at, so its good that youre changing it up

yea truth. Ive done 8x142.5kg which is around 315lb. I was due to go for 8x145kg which is e1rm of 180kg but i only managed 6. I could have done 7 but i didnt wanna do ugly rep. I shud have done it though. After that i dropped down to 132.5kg last week to do 10 rep PRs. Today i did 10x135kg. In a couple of weeks, 10x140kg would be nice but i dont use it to estimate 1rm, just it shud bring me closer to 8x150kg which if i get it, i have to believe it will be a definite 180kg max. FWIW when i did 170kg i was /only/ doing sets of 4 with 150kg. So im not very good at low rep sets but i do seem to be in the ballpark
