Full-Body. Week 5. Squats

BW - 229

Squats -
BarX5
165X5
215X4
255X3
305X1
345X1
305X7, 4, 3

Incline - up to 175X2, 2, 2, 2

BB Rows - up to 175X5, 5, 5

305X7 is a Rep PR.  I didn't realize that I'd gone up to 345 until afterwards.  I don't know where my head was at.  I knew I was adding 30 lbs. on top of the 25 and 45 lb plates all the way up, but somehow I maybe thought I was doing a top single at 325?  Anyway.  Heaviest single since the meet in March.  Seemed a little slow, but I didn't know how much it was while I was lifting it.

Reduced the reps per set on Inclines now that their getting heavier.  I tried adding an extra set to keep volume in the same ballpark as previous.  The 8th rep was really ugly and out-of-groove, so that was probably unnecessary.  Will just stick to 3 sets going forward.

Rows are getting pretty heavy for strict form.  When it's time to move up to 185, if I feel like I can't get clean sets of 3, I may drop the weight down on these and do higher rep sets.
