@Jester, I will push them but at the moment 135 is quite slow and do not want to repeat the slight tweak I did last week at 140, I feel that I am slightly twisting coming out of the hole on the last set/rep so also a bit mindful of that, however enjoying squatting every day and will probably start increasing the loads next week.

Safety first, for sure.

Do you brace or arch to stay tight (predominantly) ... ?

61.25kgs x 10 - supposed to be 15 reps no wonder it felt easy!!! Doh!!!

Watch Layne Norton's squat and deadlift tutorials, recently posted to supertraining06's channel (Mark Bell's channel) and start bracing. It is infinitely superior (and safer).

Cheers @Jester, I will give it a go tonight, legs feel very tired today after squats, deads and SLDL (straight not stiff leg as using this for hamstring stretch) last night - oh the joys of daily squatting!!!!. :)

Rear Squats (97.5kgs x 15 / 110kgs x 10 / 123.75kgs x 5 / 145kgs x 1)

Warm ups - Air squats x 10, 40kgs x 8, 60kgs x 5, 80kgs x 2, 100kgs x 1
Work sets - 110kgs x 1, 120kgs x 1, 125kgs (daily minimum) x 1, 130kgs x 1, 135kgs x 1, 140kgs x 1
Decided to try 140 as an extra set but stepped forward on this rep but other than that felt very good so 140 will now be last rep rather than 135, so now 1st work set will be at ~80% of daily max and daily minimum will be ~90% of daily max, thanks @Jester for suggesting bracing rather than arching lower back it feels far more stable
Drop sets – none
