New Personal record for myself. I have never been the type of person to 'max out' on one rep, so my PR's on recorded with weight and reps in mind. I accomplished a new PR with my squats recently. I track my progress pretty religiously so this was good for me to see what I can do with heavier weight. Currently my body weight is 217lbs and I am 5'10". Here is what I did:
10x at 135#
10x at 225#
10x at 225#
10x at 315#
10x at 315#
6x at 405#
I never have gone above 315lbs before but decided I would give it a shot. To my surprise I was able to complete 6 reps. I remember when I first started training and at 215# I could barely do 3-4 reps. Now 215# is what I warm up with. Haven't gone above 315# since then but something is pretty attractive with 405# and the bar is bending across your back!
