Squat 3

Squat:
475 x 3 @ 10
485 x 3 @ 10
495 x 3 @ 9+
505 x 3 @ 10-
515 x 3 @ 10 (+10 PR) (first at parallel, second two well below)

Those first sets always feel rough. 515 was a nice PR considering I hit 519 at the meet for my top single and that was only a few months ago. Also, looking back to the previous 5 x 3 week where i had briefs on, I topped all the sets.

Band-resisted Squat:
275 x 5 (greens)
295 x 5 (greens)
315 x 5, 5 (greens + monster minis)

These mildly irritated my bicep, so I stopped after 4 sets

Pause Leg Press:
4 plates x 3 @ 3 sec
5 plates x 3, 3 @ 3 sec

Easier than last week. I wanted to do pause squats but felt it better to rest the bicep.

Finished with ball reverse hypers and foam roller transversus.

Nice work Dave. But seriously, you aren't gonna get the tone, fit look that you're going for if you keep squatting too heavy. You'd be better served doing 3 sets of 10 on the smith machine with 135...band resisted.

On bench day you can also replace all the accessory work with 12 sets of 20 on the pec deck :)

The only problem was it took you until hitting a PR to be warm/ready to do some work, then it looked easy.
