Today was my third attempt at 280lb on the squat. Monday resulted in 280x5, x0, x2. Wednesday resulted in 280x5, x5, x4. So naturally I figured that today getting one more rep would be no problem. Today was my first workout in weightlifting shoes. My warm ups went well and then I got to my work sets. I attempted 2 work sets and got stapled on the first rep both times. My back was sore as hell from Wednesday but I figured I should push through it. So this is 3 fails at the same weight which tells me I should take 10% iff the bar and work back up, but since today was such a hard fail, should I just discount it all together and repeat this same exact workout (squat, bench, dl) on monday? I failed my first two sets on bench on the second rep. At that point I just called a spade a spade and didn't bother with deads since I felt like I had absolutely no strength whatsoever. I obviously was not recovered from Wednesday, so what do you guys think? Deload squats and continue with my next scheduled workout? Try squats again at 280, but press and clean on monday? Or fuck todays workout, do it over on Monday like it didn't even happen?
