I still haven't really tested myself with most ME lifts because I'm not at the point to where I can miss. Oftentimes I don't have a spotter which sucks. Took a little break after the 435 and did a drop set with 315 x 6 easy ones.

No deadlifts today, so instead I got some goodmornings in which was sweet. Worked my way up to an easy 255 x 3 w/out a belt. Should've went a lot heavier but I just said "fuck it" since I still had 3 sets of pullthroughs, weighted hypers, and heavy abs work.

I gotta say that the DE box squats and LOW box squats definately help bring up the squat. When I first started I never really parallel squatted before. It's always been ass to the grass. First time I tried these I only got 315 x 5 and didn't feel comfortable sitting all the way back. Now I got 435 and I'm sitting as far back and low as my hips allow. When my box squats increase, my parallel squats blow up. Next week I'm guessing I got low box squats coming up so I cannot wait.
