SpecialSundae Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Back in August last year, I managed a 1RM of 85kg for squats and when I retested in December I was disappointed to only manage 90kg and end up on my arse at 95kg. I did my first powerlifting competition in February managed 90kg but didn't make depth so my top squat was only 85kg. All in all quite disappointing. I started working with a coach just before the competition and today we retested my squats for the first time and not only did I smash my old PR but managed to push past my target of 100kg to do 102.5kg Now I'm hoping that I can push on and hit a new max in six weeks time at my next competition. 8 Quote Link to comment
