BRB haven't PB'd since june 2014 (5 months off bench between then and now helps that )
On the 5th rep I got to the middle and stopped, spotter was going to help and I just started yelling + pushed as hard as I could.. Cramped my hamstring then it turned into a scream and I closed my eyes. I will never know whether I truly did get all of that rep, but the spotter said he just put his fingers on the bar and he didn't lift it. I'll take it.
Hardest rep of my life
Then i did the rest of my workout which was burnout Biceps + triceps then obliques. Nothing to write home about.
This workout was very hard lmao, since the form adjustment + going beltless, I've never done anything over 110 KG for more than 3 reps on squatLast edited by j0hn117; 03-21-2015 at 03:48 PM.

Was surprised at how effective these were despite just being a bodyweight exercise.
Third rep of 130 was a little back-y for my liking, but still acceptable - no back pain at all. Can't get every rep right. Think I sat back too much instead of sitting down whilst sitting back on the last rep of 120 + 130, but I fixed it for 135.

So today happened...
Not even meant to workout today but I was bored + wanted to test out my injury (was planning to do bodyweight legs and some lower back)
1 leg squats are a biggg no go, wide back squats are a no go + normal back squats now hurt my back as I can't do the proper tech due to the injury + im really weak on them
Front squats are a little painful on the beginning of the eccentric portion of the lift but fine after that.. For some reason unbeknownst to me now, I decided to go heavy today lmao

Thanks man! Just getting into cleans + starting down the snatch route for power and general athleticism.
I can do RDL's fine, regular deads aren't in my programme and other posterior work I do would be isometric so I'd imagine they'd be fine. Think squats are a problem because I strained my hip flexor + can't stretch them so I can't do normal tech without more lumbar flexion or going into APT
Going to see physio sometime and will probably take a week or 2 off back squatsLog: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165874791
