So this week you did 275x1 on squat. If Monday works right and wednesday is not too taxing, you should be a little stronger next Friday. You're saying if you go for a 2 it will be significantly less weight?

In any case you don't want to view the poundage in isolation. A bunch of reps and sets at weights that are far from maximal are not anywhere near as taxing as it would be if the weights were maximal...even if you did one less set or something. Likewise don't go assuming that 1 rep at 100% is automatically more taxing than 3 at 90%.

Now I misread what you did. Since you did 185X2 that should have been it and then the back off. You should try to keep the back off at a comfortable 8 reps or so. But 6 reps is fine if it's not too maximal an effort. The 165 for 5 singles was just jerking off. Next week why not see if you can pound out 3 reps for 185?

The worse that could happen is you only get 2 reps again. Nothing tragic.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
