Squat: 275 (week 3 raised to 285 as I hit a solid double at 275#)

Comments:
When doing high frequency, keeping the reps each workout to approx 10 and working in the 60-70% of my 1rm is what feels the best. Every time I try to push it a bit and work in the 75%+ range, my body starts slowing down, lifts become lethargic ect.
