Week 6 Squats - 1/26/2015

We went into the gym Sunday morning which is squat day and found the monolift broken…  I was just a little bit upset about this considering whoever broke it hid the fact that it was broken and also didn’t tell anyone…  I pulled the piece off and on e of the guys, Chris, had a buzz box at home and he got it welded back together and we put everything back together last night…  So, instead of Monday night benching we were squatting.  I am four weeks out from the meet I’m doing on February 28th and this is when I go the heaviest and really test where I am.  It went like this:

Bar x 10
155 x 5
265 x 3
355 x 2
Briefs
465 x 1
Added Suit
555 x 1
665 x 1
715 x 1
775 x 1 Planned Opener
830 x 1 Planned Second Attempt and also a 10 lbs. Meet PR


After the 830 I had planned on doing 1000 with reverse average bands.  I have been using reverse light bands this training cycle and have done a pretty good 920 with them.  I really wanted to feel the grand on my back and I think that would have indicated I would have been able to handle an 875-900 lbs. third attempt.  But, I wasn’t happy with the 830 at all.  It was OK but I think it was high and my setup was off.  My left foot was a little behind the bar and I was a little shaky.  I decided to go for 955 reverse average bands and was going to really focus on burying it and calling it.  I unracked the weight and it didn’t feel bad at first but then I started the toes to heels back and forth crap.  Usually if I just tighten up and start back it’ll stop, this time it didn’t and the shakiness was there.  I only went down for a second and just stood back up and racked it.  There’s no excuse I just wasn’t all the way on last night but I’m thinking maybe the time made a difference???  I usually squat in the mornings and it was about 9 PM when I tried the 955… who knows.
