Confident in saying his squat 1rm in January would be 490, bench 290. Highest numbers were 275 bench and 470 squat.
Recent PRs as we taper:
Squat 510*1@8, week later 535*@10...overshot RPE
2ct bench 340*1@9
Pulled 545*1@8; 555*1@9-9.5
I started out giving people too much volume with too much intensity.
