In. Current working max is 255 for 5/3/1 calculation purposes. Though I have yet to test my truemax since switching from whatever the he’ll I was doing before to actually performing full ROM squats. Current best is 195 x 5.
See you at 315 mid summer!

Didn’t you use to squat low bar or am I mistaken? Thought I read this in your log somewhere. And thanks.[/quote]
I’ve tried it before, never liked the way it felt for my shoulders.
I used to squat wider but I have a 10 year old injury in my right groin that made that stance very uncomfortable.

Ever tried shoulder dislocates?

I did 195x7 for my first set today. I’m aiming for 315 in June.

I should clarify:
I don’t like the potential for a horrible shoulder injury, in addition to the position being less comfortable than high bar squat. I get enough shoulder tweaks from upper body pressing.

I kinda always went with what was comfortable for me, and its in the middle between high-bar and low-bar. If you had to choose one or the other i’d say its a little more towards low bar. I’m working on flexibility so i can get my elbows under completely but i haven’t felt it rough on my shoulders (knock on wood) they just get a little sore for a day or 2 after straight bar squats sometimes.

The worst was when I first started I squatted low bar but didn’t understand the concept of hips back so I had such trouble squatting for awhile.
Did another round of clusters with 300lbs this time. Should reach 315 soon.

Oh, don’t you worry. Whenever I get back into meet mode, there will be plenty of vids. Right now, there’s really not a whole lot to see.

Power Girl is badass.
Got 255x8 today.
175 x 10
205 x 3
Im in! my max squat is 305 right now so im going to try and race to get to 315 soon
I can pull 315 easy but my squat is like 225? =/
Low bar back squatted 280x1 today. 
I gotta hammer my grip strength, then the 315 deadlift will be easyyyyyy
Concluded this cycle of squat on Westside with a 1RM of 285lbs. Gonna switch to some type of deadlift for the next few weeks. Probably be a while till I squat again.
Today hit:
220 x 3
225 x1
Both felt good. Tempted to test 1RM.
