My only goal today was to hit a 505 squat single. I need to build up my conditioning on squats and deads. Deads feel manageable right now but squats feel really heavy. I plan on microloading them very slowly this year and not rushing things.

Squats
145 x 5 235 x 3 325 x 1 415 x 1 465 x 1 505 x 1

Deadlifts
135 x 5 225 x 1 315 x 1 405 x 1 495 x 5

Leg Curls
45 x 10 45 x 10

Plate Side Bends
45 x 10 45 x 10

Seems to be a good plan BTB ... great way to start new year ...

SKWAAAT cures everything ...

Sometimehs you need people on the out side to push you.....I know you can make a huge splash this year in meets.....think pissed off everytime you lift an nothing can go wrong

Awesome way to start the new year. Huge session. Looking forward to seeing you smash through 2013.

[BendtheBar]

Thanks folks. Let's dominate 2013.

Solid plan Steve! One man's micro-loading is another man's giant step Keep perspective and crush it in 2013!

Great plan. We never lose our love of training and getting better, competition is secondary.

Thanks men!

Chains coming any day now. Bench tonight.

Looks like a really sensible way to approach your lifting this year Steve. I am looking forward to hopefully helping things along the best I can and also to learn a few things from you.

I always seem to get the feeling your teaching me the things that cannot usually be taught, sort of speak. (Hope that makes sense haha)

Happy benching on the chain gang tonight!!

Good for you. Trust the process are words to live by. Interesting to see where this goes.
