After knocking out 35 reps of squats, I took a 2 minute rest and did 8×3 presses with a 135 on the bar, which is 73% of my 1RM. On the very last rep, I did 6 press-ups, which was lowereing the bar about 8″ and pushing it back up to strengthen the ligaments and tendons for heavier lifts another day.
