This was my first heavy training day since my last meet. I am currently 48 years old and trying to reach a 600 pound raw squat at a weight of 220 pounds.

My meet squat of 566 was the first 2x body weight squat of my career. While this was "only" 500x2, my body weight is only 249 which is 17 pounds lighter than my meet weight. So it was a 2x bodyweight squat for a double.

After my heavy set I nailed 320x20, a 20 rep squat PR. This was mentally hard, but I didn't quit. I wanted to after 8 reps.

I added in some footage of hack squats, here hitting a PR of 8 plates by whatever reps. I lost count. I just know it was a PR.
