Yup, 2 was borderline, 3-4 were high. And you should have tried 5, since you have safeties. You cannot progress if you continually avoid risk of failure.

Squat check 255 lbs
Second set from today. 4th rep was a beast and I wasn't at all confident for a 5th so I called it there.
Reps 2-4 were a touch high. I also kind of shoot backwards and then good morning the bar up, especially on the 4th rep.
Thoughts?

Thanks. Repeated 255 today and got 3x5, with depth. It was a struggle and my eyes almost exploded out of my head, but I got it in!
Thoughts on the other parts of the squat?

You haven't been around here very long, have you?
