EFS Beginners Program: Week 6 DE Squat/DL

All I did today was squats, and they were all done with the Safety Squat Bar for my shoulder's sake. I did not want to push my luck with deadlifts or holding heavy things in my hands. I hope by Monday my shoulder is better.

Parallel Box Squat: 95x2, 115x2, 135x2, 155x2, 175x2, 205x2x8, 235x1, 265x1, 295x1, 315x1. Since I wasn't deadlifting, I added one rep at 100% of my 1RM. 315 felt like a ton: I get to the bottom position and I could not muster the strength to drive my traps into the bar and was nearly bent over (Pins were set). This mad it harder for me launch it out, making for one very excrutiatingly long rep.
