9-7 Finally back in the gym

So I devised a workout somewhat based on the RTS Manual that Nathan told me to get. I had to heavily modify it for weightlifting (obviously), but I think this is reasonably in the spirit of the program. This workout kicked my ass after being out for 1.5 weeks.


Power Snatch
85/1@9
87/1@9
89/1@10
80/2@7,7,7,8,8,7,8,8

Snatch
86/2@8
88/2@8
91/2@9
93/2@9

Bench 155/6 185/5
195/5@8
195/5@8
205/5@8

Back Squat 115/6 135/5
152/4@ 10 This totally floored me. I barely got the 4th rep up. I lose squat strength really fast when I'm not doing it frequently. Not too concerned, it'll come back fast. My legs are already sore form this.

What do the numbers after the '@' mean?

It's a "rating of perceived exertion." Basically how hard the set was on a 1-10 scale.
