That was it. I feel I could’ve went a little heavier on the squats and deadlifts but those weights felt good enough for today. I’m doing something a little different this training cycle by doing exercises that are hard for me. The SSB is tough as hell for me, benching with a fat bar, and sumo deadlifts. Also doing exercises that are hitting my weak points also. Boards to hit my lockout on bench, & also block Pulls, and last time I used the ssb for a squat cycle I was hitting alot of PR’s in my squats. Looking to do a meet next year and I want to be more than ready

Agree on SSB squats being tough. You hit some good weight on them still.

Yeah they’re tough, but they carry over to my regular squats like nothing else
