I didn't have long to train tonight, but I did accomplish something I have not done in about five years...I took 325lbs. in the squat for two sets of ten reps. In the last training training cycles I completed before my WNPF meet in Philadelphia, I did not complete more than six reps in any set of squats, except to warm-up. All of my working sets were six reps or lower. I am starting this cycle out with more volume to help build a better base that can handle heavier weights. In my last meet I gave 525lbs. a ride and received 2 white lights. In August I want 550lbs. in the 242lb. class.
I posted a video of my first set at 325lbs. at my Forza Powerlifting Club page on facebook. Be sure to check it out! Squats: 2x10 bar/bar, 1x10 135lbs., 1x5 225/275, 2x10 325lbs. Barbell Shrugs: 4x10 135/135/225/225 Green Band Goodmornings: 4x10

On Friday afternoon I picked up a new bench. My old Competitor 600 was not as stable as I thought it was. Tonight I used the new bench for the first time. It was a good workout.
