Keeping with yesterday’s theme of simplicity, I came, I squatted, I went home. That simple and that fast.

My warm-up was empty bar back squats for a couple of sets of 15, then 135 x 5 and 155 x 5, both with 3 second pauses in the hole.

The entree was 9 sets of 2 reps.

225/225/240/245/250/260/260/275/225. 60-87% of 1RM.

Got nice and low for each, but was wobbly on the first set of 260. The second set was much better.
