Squat Check

[dpinsen]

Coaches:

I am doing PR doubles this week, following a programming suggestion from Jordan where I do 3 weeks of 5 rep Texas Method, followed by 3 weeks of 3 rep TM, then a week of doubles, a week of singles, and back to 5 rep TM.

This was a double I did on squats at 430lbs. I squat high bar due to shoulder inflexibility. I know 45 degrees is your preferred angle, but the layout of my gym precludes that.

My question: is this deep enough for me to attempt a double at 435 on Saturday, or should I repeat 430 then?

Thanks for reading and viewing.

Look deep enough to me...continue!

I received a PM from Wolf that stated your squats were high. I went back and looked at them on my computer at home, and he is correct, particularly the second one. I apologize for leading your wrong on the first post. 90 degree angle, distance, safety bar, small screen at work, and I gave you a bad answer.

As for whether or not you go up...if depth was the determination, nope, don't go up.

Again, sorry to mislead you, I'll do better.
