Squats;
3 sets 7 reps 185lbs, 205lbs, 225lbs**Working sets for the week, light work
6 sets 1 rep 250lbs, 275lbs, 300lbs, 325lbs, 350lbs, 375lbs**Messing around with new squat shoes
Leg Press;
4 sets 13 reps
Leg Extensions;
4 sets 13 reps
Biceps;
100 reps
After years of wanting a pair bought some cheaper squats shoes, Adidas Powerlift 5, for $85. Definitely noticed more quad being used and did seem a little easier opening up the hips. This all could just be placebo effect though pretty sure the quads were not. Going to take a long time to find out which type of shoe I am stronger in but will run with these for awhile until I hit a strength or peaking phase and then maybe can figure it out. Happy 2 weeks after PR squats came back and hit the top set today and probably had another +15ish in me.
