I've been meaning to get a max effort squat day in and over the last few weeks, it just didn't happen. Bad days. Lack of sleep. Blah. Blah. Blah. Rex posted a new thread on the Gripboard about hitting a massive squat PR. Big Rex hit 635lbs in the squat - stating it was a 35lb PR. I don't care what kind of a PR it is, that's a serious squat in my book. Congrats! I hope we can chat about programs and technique soon.

I rolled in the gym tonight knowing I was going to hit a PR. I squatted 500lbs back in 2005 at a BW of 238lbs. I hit 520lbs tonight at a BW of 244lbs. I'm pumped.
