M96C6T5 Back Squats 165kgs & Weighted Pull-ups +25kgs

ASSISTANCE Day

I was supposed to get Back Squats done on Tuesday because I chickened out of them on Monday. But this plan failed and life got in the way and I did Back Squats today. This could potentially backfire on me because I could go into my Deadlift workout with sore legs and that’s the last thing I want. However, I am going to do a couple of sets of Anderson Front Squats (that should originally have been trained today) the day before Deadlifts so hopefully that will keep me primed for DL but this is a gamble.

I am close to hitting my old max of 172,5 kgs on Back Squats but I am not rushing into this. I am going to keep building volume a little at a time and progress like a snail with the intensity so that I can cross over to new uncharted territory without any hiccups. I would like to work up to 185 kgs as a week-in-week-out Relative Max Benchmark.
