5x5 Back squat

5-5-5-5-5 reps back squat

135(6)-155-185-195-195(3F,2)

Last time (October 27) I finished with a completed set at 190.

I felt like I was going to fail my next rep on the last set, so I racked the bar. Some people think you shouldn't go to failure, so maybe this was a good move. At least I finished the set after a break. My current 1RM is 225, 80% of which is 180, so I feel better about this workout now. (I had incorrectly calculated 80% of 225 before so I thought I was way light).
