I’ve never “real” back squatted. Oly style always felt the most natural to me so thats what I’ve always stuck with.

Cool.
I’m guessing you still had a lot in the tank during the pr set?

Possibly, it was a bit of a grinder though. This is my 5th day in a row squatting so my max strength levels are probably a bit in flux whilst I get used to a higher frequency.
Congrats on PR, pretty crazy how close your front/back squat are, but fully expecting that to change pretty quickly with focus.

I can imagine that much squatting would lower the weights at first.
Given your FS and RDL numbers I would be quite surprised if you weren’t able to lift quite a bit more than 3 plates.

Reading over some of your stuff I think that you’re good for at least 150, and that’s being conservative.

Thats reassuring to hear! I might try maxing out on front squats in a couple of weeks after I fully adjust to squatting urryday. Thanks for checking in!
fml if we have the same FS
For incline bench, only take the bar to 1-2 inches from chest and pump out da reps, it isn’t a competition lift so perform it in manner which best stimulates gainz without painz is what I’d recommend. That’s just me though, the guy who has a sucky bench but finds incline press a 5x better chest movement.
