Wed 5/25/22 - Squat

Garage Gym
(Squat)185x1,205x1,215x1,185x4,165x4,4,4
(LowInc)125x6,135x6,145x6,135x6,6,6
(Deadlift-2")235x4,250x4,265x4,4,4

58 mins

Started with squat for 1@8, 4@8-9, 3x4@70-75%. Warming up felt really good, 205 felt really good, 215 was ok, hit a bit of a sticking point. Back off to 185 was good @8-8.5 and further backoffs were @7-8 with the last set feeling the best.  Much better than last squat WO where my back didn't feel right so I was very conservative. 

Next I supersetted low incline and deficit deadlifts. Low incline feels better than flat bench for my R shoulder. Just did some tempo (3-0-1) work. Deficit deadlifts were really good. I'm still getting used to this, so strong upside is still there. I feel like my form is actually better than conventional pulls. I think because I'm standing on a 2" bumper plate (35#), my stance is more narrow + the defecit makes me start the pull with my legs more, rather than using so much back. I rated the top DL sets @RPE 7.
