Well im back from 5x5 back squats. Gotta say i came away from the gym not very happy with my performance.

My lower quads are still sore from the vertical climber i used instead of the rower the other day for the wod+the sprints last night left me nackered at rugby.

But i didnt want to use that as excuse so i went in and did it anyway.

I did
1 x 5 x 90kg's (198lbs)
1 x 5 x 100Kg's (220lbs)
1 x 5 x 110Kg's (242lbs)
1 x 5 x 120Kg's (264lbs)
1 x 2+1 x 130kg's (286lbs)

This isnt far off my 1 rep max off 137Kg's (301lbs), so i shouldnt be too unhappy, but i really thought i could have gotten 5.
Also annoying is that i got 120Kgs for 5 reps, and instead of going for 125Kgs (which i could have got), i let my ego rule my head and i jumped up to 130kgs and only got 2+one with little help from spotter.

Annoying, but all things considered (sore/v tired quads) it wasnt completely bad.
