    I was doing that with 405 on the squat. I would load 405 and hold for several seconds to train my CNS. No squatting. When I did my 1RM at the beginning of January, I did 405. First time hitting that since 2007.

    Try this too: before you get into your working sets, put 10% more weight on the bar than you're programmed for and do a couple box squats. It'll prime you well for the lower weight working sets.

      @@ramon9367 no, he’s speaking of the working set weight when he mentioned “programmed”. For example if I have in my program or “working set” for it to be 200 lbs then what I would do before actually getting into my working set is do a couple squats of 220 since “20” is 10% of the weight that I’m about to be working with.

      Its not the spotters job to move the entire weight for him. Russel would still be pushing a lot of the weight if he failed. Most likely if he failed he would just leave jt on the safety rack. Also when reracking its important to have a spotter so you dont miss the rack.
