Volume Squat: OWU 355x1, 310x5, 300x5x2

I actually was planning to ramp up to 355x5. The problem is the power rack at my gym sucks, and the safeties are either too low or too high. And, they have angled squat racks where the safeties are at a good depth for me, but they are in front of a mirror and it screws with my form.

Anyway, I worked in the power rack with the safeties too low. After the first rep of 355 I got worried I wouldn't get a set of 5, so I said fuck it and just did a volume day. It's fine, because my plan leading up to the meet was just to get to 350x5 before moving back to Texas Method programming. But it would have been nice to get 355x5, because that would've been a PR.

Next time I squat, I will bring a blanket and put it over the mirror in the angled squat rack.

I think my form broke down on bench today, but regardless, since I didn't get the 5 singles, I decided to just reset. I might have tried to just progress one single, but I have enough weeks before the meet that I'd rather just give myself a break and build back up a little. I decided to reset press too, because it just made sense to do them at the same time.
