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.
