Notes
-I was supposed to stop with the 275 sets, but my friend was testing his max, and I was curious to see where I'm at with backsquats after 8+ weeks off.  405 felt smooth all things considered.  I feel I've lost almost nothing with squats. I had more than 405x3 in me, but I stopped because I had enough information.  

-I attribute a few things to the squat improvements: not squatting, rock solid lowback from deadlifting 5x a week, improved hip flexibility from mobility/goblet squats, and better hand positioning on the bar.  I noticed my hands naturally came in much narrower than usual on the bar.  Elbows were pointed to the floor.  I think this has to do with  the upper back stretching in the past 1.5 weeks.  I have a long way to go, but everything feels more natural.

-Time to turn it up.  Sheiko begins...
