11.9.11-Squat

Squat:
Given that I can triple 315, I feel pretty good about that being my opener. Including warmups here for reference when meet comes around
barx5
95x5
135x5
185x3
put on belt
225x3
275
295
Attempt 1:
315@8+/9-
Attempt 2:
335@10- (much better now than when I attempted this last time. For sure got depth, but my walkout sucked by taking twice as long as it should've to get my feet set)
335@10+ (much better set up. unquestionable depth. Grinder on the way up, but a good lift still)

Leg Press Machine:
3 plates on each side x8
3 plates and a quarter on each side x 6
4 plates on each side x5

Ellyptical (cardio)
16 mins, 200 calories burned.

So to sum up, plan for the meet re squats:
1) 142.5 kg (314.2 lbs)
2) 150 kg (330 lbs)
3) 155 kg (341.7 lbs)
Does this sound good? Should I open lighter? heavier 2nd and 3rd attempts?

Looks like your squat training has been on point for this meet. Great job staying consistent with it.

I would do 185x2 & 225x1 instead of 3 in your warmups. Saves energy imo but if you really think you need those triples to get warm then go ahead. I'd also maybe drop the opener by 2.5 kgs just to be conservative.
