John,
Wondering what your goal is at least for the interim?

I want to get my squat up to around 375-400lb. Squat has never been a strong lift for me. Also, I need to get stronger if I want my Oly lifts to go up. I have been stuck around 92.5kg snatch and 115kg c&j for a while. There is never a problem of motivation to train those. They are fun to me, especially snatch. I would always find a reason not to squat heavy or only do so occasionally. So i am trying to squat everyday for four weeks and limiting everything else so I don't over do it. so far I am liking having to get in the squat rack everyday. My squats are improving, and the sets are getting better as I get heavier, compared to what they used to be. Just trying to train the weakness I guess.

Power snacth 5x60kg, 4x70kg
Squat 8x135, 2x245, 2x265, 2x285, 2x305, 2x325
Not too bad. 325 was heavy. form didn't break down as much as usual when I get this heavy, which is good. I haven't gone this heavy in a long time for a single let alone a double.

Tuesday 9/9
Squat 8x135, 5x225, 11x1x275
Snatch grip RDL 3x8x80kg
Why 11 sets? because 8, 9 and 10 felt good so I figured one more was in order. Felt good after hitting 325 for 2 yesterday.

Thursday 9/11
Squat 8x135, 3x2x225, 3x2x245, 3x2x265
Stayed upright in all the sets. Third set of 225 and 2nd set of 265 felt great. Hit the groove right where I was supposed to, up and down, felt like an empty bar on my back. Bringing the hands in helped. Need to be consistent n finding that groove.
