I switched to a parallel box squat for this cycle. I just seem to respond better with these and doing it more of a true max weight instead of max reps scheme. Its all about finding out what works for you.

Really ran behind on keeping posts updated. Between working OT, Thanksgiving, school, and just now getting back from a hunting trip over the weekend, I am exhausted. Did set PRs in both lifts though. I can only remember the last sets of both so Ill just post that. I weighed myself before Thanksgiving in @203lbs.
