Friday:

Wide Stance Squats: (pyramid) 1x3 365
Benching: 3x3 205
JS Rows: 3x3 185
Accessory (Close Grip Bench) 2x10 155

Well today was one of the best workout days yet. I hit 325lbs on squats (what I had planned to do) and felt really fuckin good after...So I upped the ante and hit 365lbs for 3 reps, going at least parallel (can't go down much further than that in the wide stance). Fuck Yeah! I really think that the combination of Heavy A2G, moderate A2G and then Powerlifting for a top set is whats making the difference here.

Bench went alright, its not my strongest lift but I'm still managing to stick with the progression I have laid out. I'll address my bench issues later on when I do the DFHT program, til now I'm just gonna focus on progressing for 2 more weeks.

Rows felt good, best form I've ever had at this weight.

Didn't do abs today because my lower back was feeling a little fatigued from deadlifts on wednesday.

Lookin' good in here.. You've come a long way..

Thoughts about the squat (in general). I've done both olympic with a close stance as well as a super wide parallel (slightly below still). I've found that my ass to the grass squat is CLOSE in weight to parallel, but I feel more comfortable O squatting. Since moving from powerlifting back into a hypertrophy routine, I've tried BOTH variations to find my groove. The wide never felt comfortable for me, and doing a lot of repetitions ass to the grass puts more stress on my lower back region. Long story short, I had to incorperate both, basically widening out my stance further than Olympic, and squatting down about 1-2" below parallel without sitting on my calves like I used to. Since I switched my form, I've added another 20 lbs AND another 4 reps to my previous week where I was really exerting myself.

Keep that in mind when you move on to another type of programming with something like 4 sets of 6-10 reps.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the advice 0311, much appreciated as always.

I'm one step ahead of you ;). I've got DFHT setup to do A2G for low reps and Wide Stance for the high reps (ie. 4x6-10 on RE days ) (Since I also run into the same problem of having too much stress on my back with high reps of A2G).

I set up my DF 5x5 like this (wide stance being the top set squats) because I want to really bump up those Wide Stance numbers so I can squat some serious weight for higher reps to come

LOL, actually, my advice was to the contrary. High reps wide parallel didn't work at all for me. IME, doing the heavy poundages wide parallel is one thing, but if you let that mentality transfer over to the high reps, you'll be in trouble. If anything, if it was me, I'd switch that around to doing wide parallel for the heavy low reps, and the less intensity driven reps with ATG's.

LOL, fuck its been a long day I guess, I misread your post...Doing the low reps for parallel makes sense, but I guess I was more concerned with the high reps affecting my lower back. I'll stick with your plan (which was what I had originally before I changed it today) because it makes more sense. I'll just have to watch how my back gets when I get into the high rep A2G's. Good thing you're around to keep me in line Big Guy.
