Thread: Aim for a 315 squat single...

Hey guys, my birthday is in a week, and I've been trying to get a 315 squat single, lately everything's been feeling pretty amazing and I've been attempting to squat 2x a week (if my schedule allows it)

Here's my breakdown of the last few weeks.

7/16;

Warm up to 275 single, then 305 belted single (new PR)
Back down to 275x1 single (beltless)
225x2x10
185x12 (or so)

Machine accessories (hamstring curls, quads, hip abductors)

7/22

Warm up to 225 single
245 5x3 (beltless)
185x15
135x20

7/26

Warm up to 275 single beltless
Then belted 255x3x3 which felt relatively good

I did some deadlifts and front squats too today.

If I keep add 10 lbs per week, will I be able to hit 315 relatively soon/easily? My goal is that 275 feels relatively good / can squat for reps before attempting 315.

How did the 305 look/feel? Grinder or fairly smooth?

I thought I had 300 on there but it was 305, came up pretty good with the belt honestly.
