Strongarm90 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I thought this was an appropriate item to share. My training has been great. I try to program everything based off percentages. I typically treat my program percentages as law, but I felt like "rounding up" yesterday. I achieved the following PR yesterday: Squats - 8 sets of 3 at 415 (lbs), the program called for 385 Pause Squats - 2 sets of 5 at 365 (lbs) Every rep felt smooth and clean, no grinding. I really can't wait to see what the program has in store for me in the weeks to come Quote Embrace the Grind http://www.instagram.com/strongarm90 Link to comment

Rooks Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Holy crap. Well done sir. Welcome to NF btw. Best I've done was 3 sets of 10 at 290. Did recently hit a triple at 315, but it was only for one set. Quote Link to comment
