Breaking up the last set of squats

[tylerjewell]

I've realized, at times, the last 2-3 reps on my last set of squats tend to feel sloppy (I want to good morning the bar yada yada).
Because I want to make sure I get good reps in I will rack the weight, if necessary, breathe for 20-30 seconds, and finish the set just fine.
It just helps me regain composure for a second.

Are there any objections to doing this occasionally or do I need to grind the last 2 at the expense of probably
not doing the rep(s) very clean?

Thanks

Why do you need to re-rack the weight?

You could probably finish the set in that 20 - 30 seconds.

Racking the bar ends the set.

Take a couple of breaths while standing with the bar between your reps and see if that helps you "regain composure"

My last rep or two on the final set is always an additional breath to get settled. As @Satch12879 says, reracking is the end of a set.

also, film your last set of 5 and get a form check.

Yes, it does.

Yeah, I do that the majority of the time. This idea started when I got pissed from missing reps on my last set a couple times. Then decided I would rest a minute and then try to get the reps (I did).
I probably get overly methodical and in my head when I'm doing the rep, and should just grind out the last two anyway. My rationale is, or lack thereof I'm sure many of you will believe, at the risk of me letting the grind overtake my mental ability to perform the rep correctly - I would rather do 2x5, 1x3, 1x2, and get the reps right. The majority of the time, this doesn't happen and I do 3x5.

I had read that at one point, but it was good to see it again, thank you. I probably could use a form check as everyone does. Will have my buddy video for me next time.
I'm running an LP again, and am happy with where it is going this time.

Is your second set grindy as well for the last rep or two? I would also like to see a clip.

Why not take 5-10% off the bar so that you get your volume in for the last set with better form.

I could, but is it better to maintain the intact set or to get the reps with the assigned weight?
And yes - as soon as I can, I will provide a clip of my last set.

Thanks, dudes.

Get your volume in mate. Perhaps consider doing a top set and then back off sets with a 5-10% deload to maintain good form and reduce chance of injury.

Once your top set starts feeling like a constant 5RM then consider other squat programming so you're not grinding every session.
