Thanks for the help mike!
Was leaning towards chains and or boards. Where did you get your boards, I was also thinking about making some.

Crazy that you could pause 280 but got stuck on 290 when you were fresher. You'll get it sorted I'm sure. Good luck.

What made it weirder was that 280 felt very good.

Notes: The very first set of squats today felt like nothing, the rest of the squats felt like a 1000 pounds! An easy PR, was going to go for another single but when I unracked it I knew there was no way.
Felt very strong on Log press, keeping it low volume for right now.
20 rep squats, I miss loaded the bar. One side had a 35 instead of a 25, oops! Still I'm going for 300 next week, I've worked to hard at these to slow down.
First time I have done farmers in a while so kept it light, have lost some grip and leg strength with these. It easier to pick up though now.
