Big Squat

Back Squatted 310lbs for 3s x 5r. (3 sets x 5 reps)

This was a significant moment because:

1) Only 5 pounds away from moving 315 for sets across, which would be 6 wheels.

2) It's further movement past what was once the 300lb barrier.


While back is recovering from accident I may have to rely on back squats rather than deadlifts to strengthen the posterior chain. Put simpler, since I can't deadlift heavy, I'll squat heavy to raise my deadlift.

This would sound counter-intuitive, but many professional powerlifters rarely deadlift and rely on the backsquat as the main mechanism to increase their deadlift. Hopefully it will work for me, for now.
