squat percentages today were bases off of a max attempt taken early in the training cycle wearing briefs and straps down. Percentages used today were
80%, 90%, 95%, 103% and 106%.
Squats felt good. 880 didn't move quick, as you saw in the video, but I felt in control, still had room to tighten the straps and intend to add knee wraps at the meet. I feel that 900 is a realistic expectation on my 3rd attempt.
