    9 reps on a week 1 max set is pretty much spot on. Was it a tough 9, or did you cut it short with some reps to go? If you had maybe one more rep left then I'd say it was the right weight for you, and you should base your training max off of that (310/.85 = 365).

    The #9 were moderately tough, I may have had one or two more left in me. Adjusting my training max down 390 to 365 probably makes sense considering how hard 435 was last week.

    Realized that my schedule for last week had me doing pullups on the first and last day of each week. Considering how dead I was on Sat decided to swap rows and pullups on the deadlift and bench days.

    Left knee has been sore along for the last three days and patella clicks every time i straighten it. I had similar simptoms to these through my early-mid twenties that had gone away when I started squatting regularly. They have returned periodically when I would miss more than one workout in a row or several in a month. I had some concern that squatting only once a week might cause them to come back. I'm considering switching to Dead/BBB Squat and Squat/BBB Dead to get two squat days a week in. Anyone had similar experience?

    Not sure if I was fresher, got stronger since last week, or just didn't burn out with a set of 10 but these went up much easier this week than last.

    Decided to make the switch to see if this helps the knee. These were harder than they look on paper after heavy deads. Two hours later knee feels ok but to soon to tell, abs are a bit sore.
