Thought you would appreciate the Squat complex I did today. Squat variations....1 squat, 1 pause squat, 1 one and a quarter squat = 1 rep. I did 2 reps up to 365....last set was rough!
I do these types of variations often. Helps in a variety of ways, especially out of the hole with heavy weight.

Thanks! I haven't been up to 455 in awhile. But after getting into this thread, I figured I couldn't justify age with cutting back on the weights.
What I have been doing is testing the waters. I knew I had the 455 coming up, so the week before I did rack pulls with it just to get a taste for what I was in for. Maybe it's a mental thing for me, but I had to feel it before actually committing to it.
Those squats are crazy. I've dome something similar in the past. people don't realize how hard it is when you stop and pause and you take the momentum out of it.
It's a lot easier coming out of the hole when you have that on your side as you body is kind of coiled like a spring to come up.
I need to start adding some box squats back in. Those were similar. You get a whole different type of soreness in other areas from those types of exercises!
