TRAINING INPUT:
(disclaimer I am hella weak at squating I’ve only been doing real squats for a coupla months)
So, I’m training in 8-15 rep range for 5 sets.
I’ve been squating 95LBS and last workout hit the max reps 95x15 x5 sets
So next workout I get to go heavier and back down to the bottom of my rep range 8 reps x 5 sets
Would it be too much to go for 115x8x5?
what say TK?[/quote]
I think 115 is a good target weight, just stick to form and dont worry about hitting the most reps. With the size of the junk in your trunk (which is a good thing) you will be hitting PR very easy and quickly.[/quote]
I hope so!
Will go for 115 on Saturday then.
I am most careful with my form! Not quite ATG every rep I’ll admit but always below parallel.

I think that was my problem, going too fast. I got to 135 x 2 and then bam! Got injured, stopped going to the gym during winter (combo of being sick often and starting work), and now I can barely do 10 x 65 and reach parallel on the last couple of reps. Definitely take it slow and work your way up. Breaking that 100 lb mark is always a HUGE achievement, IMO, so if you do 105, 110, or 115, you’re still doing awesome![/quote]
Thanks Grny… I’ll be careful.
I feel like I can do the 115x8x5 but if I feel form suffer I’ll peel ten off.
Did I srsly miss beltane? I mean, not like I’m a pagan, and not like I’m getting laid anyways… just seems like the perfect opportunity to complain bout NOT getting laid.
ha! see what I did there?
