EFS Beginners Program: Week 12 Squat Test

Squat warmup using a 14" Box to rehearse depth, touch and go: 135x5, 170x3, 205x2, 240x2.
Squat: 275x1, 310x1, 340x1 (25 lbs PR).

I'll sum everything up on Friday since it's late. First time in the longest I've squatted with a straight bar and nothing else. Hopefully, my shoulder won't remind me of it. My forearms are, though: they feel pumped. My original goal was 330, and 3 weeks ago my 16" SSB Box Squat was 315x2, so I felt safe going 10 pounds over my goal. I even managed to pause at the bottom to check my depth. The SSB bar works: I had a strong arch all the way and never got bent over at the bottom. Bench on Thursday, Deadlifts on Friday.

Nice work alberto. 340 is getting up there. On your way to 405!
