If you need to judge where you re at, then pull a heavier set. 190 x 10 gave me a 245 at a comp when I first did it. Thanks Dave, it is good to hear that. I think i am getting impatient because it takes such a long time to produce low rep result. Time for me to stop whining, lol. | ||

You seem to have plenty of evidence that you are stronger and none that you arent. Now would I expect you to go from 190x10 to a haevy max single one workout to the next? No, but if you tapered the reps down over a period of time you'll be considerably stronger than you were before. Stick with it mate. | ||

some nice relaxing jazz. Member 77, 12599 posts SQ 265, BP 165, DL 280710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | 190x10 when you pb is 210.. good going. Stick at it I say. Eventually the load will increase and you'll do lower reps. Your certanly in a nice position to turn the reps into pb's. All it will need is a small cycle to get accustomed to the lower reps and job done. | ||

Maybe 195 for 8, next sesh, then 200 for 6, then 205 for 4, doubles with 210, then next time explore 1RM. Or something like that... | ||

jogging bottoms are like sweat pants Member 935, 972 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 227.5567.5 kgs @ 97.6kgs UnEq | Maybe if you're worried about speed then you could work in some speed pulls (from the floor or blocks) on the squat day? E.g. 8 sets of 3 reps as fast as possible with 50% of your max. | ||

Grass fed Member 1147, 7710 posts SQ 220, BP 185, DL 272.5677.5 kgs @ 113kgs UnEq | I'd think about reseting your maxes on the 531, that way on your 1 week you will be pulling a heavy double or maybe only a single | ||
