Back squat

Warm Up: 5 @ 40% of 1RM; 5 @ 50%; 3 @ 60%

Establish a new 1 Rep Max

275lbs (PR)
Was close on 280lbs, which I thought would have been 2x body weight, but I weighed in at 143, so gotta aim higher!

Back Squat 70% of new 1RM for a set of three reps.

Then until failure:
Add 10# for a set of three reps
Add 10# for a set of three reps
Add 10# for a set of three reps and so on…
Depending on your 1RM, you may want to add as few as 5# or as much as 15#.

Back Squat 70% of the failed attempt for two sets of 5 reps, concentrating on speed out of the bottom.

175lbs
