Back Squat 5x5

WU: Lots of Stretching

WU Sets x 5
135-225

Work Sets
275-315-335-355-365(2)-315


Racked it after 2 on 365. Might have gotten a 3rd, but my legs were toast and my form was starting to degrade.

355 is a PR as of late. Back in October I have that I did 385. I know I was doing a Low Bar Back Squat then. I am trying to be a form Nazi and am doing a High Bar Back Squat now. I switched to the HBBS due to the fact that I tended to lean over too much on the LBBS and was having some low back pain off and on when I would go heavy. I switched to HBBS about 2-3 months ago and I have noticed a significant decrease in the frequency of low back aches and pain. The amount of weight being lifted has suffered some, but I am okay with that. My form is better, I hurt less (meaning I can lift well the next day) and each time I do this I am making progress.

 Pleased for now...
