New best!

Yesterday I did my 1st 10 plate, 6 rep set on squats.

Wore a belt, had a spot (ended up not needed him) but wore no knee wraps.

Squats went as such yesterday...

Bar (45lbs) x 10 reps (no belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
2 Plates (135lbs) x 10 reps (no belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
4 Plates (225lbs) x 10 reps (no belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
6 Plates (315lbs) x 10 reps (no belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
8 Plates (405lbs) x 10 reps (no belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
8 Plates + 2 25lb plates (455lbs) x 8 reps (with belt, no spot, no knee wraps)
10 Plates (495lbs) x 6 reps (with belt, with spot, no knee wraps)

Then I was off to leg extensions.

Felt good. :thumbup:

I don't have a training partner and I hate fucking up other's workouts and momentum if I don't have to.

Not at all. I could blow out a 540lbs x 1 with ease.

Next week I am going for 545lbs x 5. We'll see.

Al, it's not like your bench is it? Where you only go down half way or whatever?

Bringing the bar 2-3 inches from your chest IS a full press, FYI. There's no need to bounce the weight off of your chest like it's a trampoline. When I squat I go to at least 90 degrees, no sense in going any further than that.

But hey, any time you're on this side of town and willing to clang some plates with me to show me how to correctly move the weight on moving, let me know. I'd love a few pointers.
