Squat PR!

[Tiervexx]

Last week was the first time i was able to do squats for four weeks so i just did a bunch of reps with 185, this week i thought i would just do some with 205. so i did.

135x6
165x4 felt heavyer than it should have. I thought that i would not be able to do any more than 205 at this point.
205x4 felt really light! so i decided to stop and add more...
225x3 still felt good
235x2
245x2
255x2 15lbs PR!!!

I did this right in front of a mirror so i know the form was good, my back stayed strait and i went ATF on each rep.

I also did strait leg dead lifts

135x5
165x5
205x8 I did not do many sets on this because this was only the second time i have ever done these so i wanted to take it easy, the last time i did them i did alot of reps with 185 so i knew i could handle 205.
could not make up my mind weather to post this on the powerlifting or training boards so i did both.

Nice Job, keep working those squats

Thank you spatts and ffknight84. when i first made the switch to ATF form 90 degree i could only use 135 for a few reps. since then my legs have exploded and i feel a shitload lighter on my feet. This is my favorit lift now though not my best one.

By the way does anyone have an suggestions for me on how to improve this workout? it seems to be working ok but i am still always open for ideas. i have no way of doing the fancy chain suspended crap or anything with bands but if anyone has any suggestions regarding basic movements please speak up.

i would do these but all the boxes at my school's weight room are like +2feet high.

what is really funny is when I see some short guy using those boxes. They are only using about 30-45% of the full range of motion and wonder why they have little twig legs despite using close to the same weight i do. I would LOVE to shoot these bastards.
