Last Heavy Squat Day for Arnold

There's a reason why I squat on Saturdays then bench Sundays... I can really feel it in my lower back when I try to bench first in the week. Like I said though, if you get a chance to bench with one of the best in the world...you do it.
I was going to work up to my opener today and shut it down, at least that was the plan. It took forever for me to feel like I was warm. My first suited squat was at 565 and it was okey. I took 635 next and it felt like a 1000. 685 was next and it went perfect so I decided to go ahead and go for my opener and get it done. I'm opening around 780, that is kind of a big jump but I've made bigger ones. As soon as I unracked it I was off so I reracked... Got under it again and it came out better but something was off. Looking at the video I was hula-hooping from the start and when I started back I got on my toes and couldn't recover. Instead of fighting it I told them to take it. I considered giving it another go but decided to just call it a day. I did punish my quads with some heavy leg presses and then some high rep extensions.
I'll pull on Wednesday hopefully up too my opener for maybe two singles. That'll be it until The Arnold. I'm as ready as I'm going to get.
