Specific Development
A
Find 1 RM Back Squat (tempo 3xx1)
 +
10 minutes rest

B
AMRAP @ 85% 1RM (tempo 3xx1)

- Got up to 380# for the 1RM. This is 20# under my "regular" back squat 1RM, however, I'm okay with this since my training lately has been very much body weight based and less "get stronger". Also, I felt like I could have gone higher, however, my knees were pretty valgus and that didn't make me happy. I tried my best to put form over weight on this. 

- I achieved 5 reps on part B. I'm not really sure where that puts me, however, I'm not too happy with it. I look at this and I feel much disappointment. A buddy of mine has achieved 400# x 8...we used to be relatively close in strength and now he's blowing me out of the water. Also, let's not forget I weigh in around 275# and he weighs in around 205#. Frustrating as it is, all this means is I need to commit fully.
