10/17/13 - offseason w3d3 squat

Training @ 430a

Squat up to 405x3, add belt/wraps 440x6 (75%), 455x1, 495x1, 545x1, 425x8
12" step ups 225x8x3

So I bailed after the 6th rep with 440. Squats have been miserable on this program and I was thinking I estimated my squat too high. So I said screw it and tested. 545 went up without too much trouble. 565 is def in the tank but unsure about 585 at this time. Fresh, more than likely, but right now, doubtful. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to make my training max 545 or 565 but there's no way I was going to make the reps at a higher %. I didn't account for fatigue and recovery issues as I'm throwing as well as lifting. I thinking about adjusting my training max #s down 5% to account for that. I feel 10% is too much. This offseason is an experimentation and I want to get the biggest gains I can.
