Squats - Volume[185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405,425 x1]
- 385 6x6
* cut down on warmup reps a little more. 1 day rest from sat squat and legs are firing nicely. hesitated on going to gym today. thought 385 4x2 last sat may need more recovery time. got good sleep mid day and decided to go for it.
* 425 was a lot easier today. so as the 405. felt like im ready to bust out a 405x6 the way it felt light on my back. sticked to the plan of volume sets. either 365 x8 or 385x6 depending on how strong i feel. went with 385.
* was aiming for 385 6x8 but at set 6 rep 6, spinal erectors were shot. it was a goodmorning rep but legs were still strong - i got the rep. lower back was really bloated right there.
* BW at gym - 194.5lb. BW empty - 192.5 ish. high volume squats burn lots of calories. i feel strong but my weight got depleted. lol.
* 385 36reps is a double bodyweight squat. not hard at all. was thinking of making a vid for darqui of a back up 325 x20. forget that. weights too light. i prefer to stick with 80ish % of 1RM. 70% is not going to cut it. it will be a 10-12RM pushed to 20. i prefer to use ~ 85% (385lb) ~ 5RM if piston repped and pushed for a 6rep multi sets. it will give similar or more beating while using a noticeably heavier weight on the bar. or i just wussed out.
* workout time - 3pm to 8:20pm. camped again. 2-3 workout without the high volume depth jumps. squats got a lot better. after i cut these volume reps, hopefully il peak nicely and end these squats. im getting tired..
