I had a small window of opportunity while the kids were in swimming lessons at the Y yesterday evening, so I took it. I grabbed my lifting bag as I left the house and once the kids were safely on deck I hustled up stairs and got my knee sleeves and lifting shoes on for a quick heavy back squat session.
Worked up quickly. Empty bar for a few, 135#, 185#, 225#, jumped to 275# then 295#.
It all felt really good. So I put on 305# which I've done only once lately, and it went up without pause.
I was running low on time and I don't like dropping at this Y, the plates aren't really bumpers, they are coated but not rubber. So I called it quits there and did a set of dumbbell rows, 8 reps at 65# each arm then 5 reps at 100# each arm.
Then I headed to the pool to collect the kids. Felt good to lift heavy.
I feel very fortunate that I can lift so heavy; and I'm still improving.
