Max Squat Day

I went for an estimated 3 rep max, today.  I still can't do much of anything with my upper body, so squats was the name of the game.  I worked up to 475 over 7 sets, and then on my 8th set went for 527 (gotta count clips when maxing!).  I got 3 reps fairly easily (not quite low enough on all of them, but no spotter...), I thought, and here is video confirmation just for fun:



With this, I'm estimating my 1 rep max squat closer to 560 lbs.  This is the best I've done since about 2006...hopefully this means my deadlift is up, too, but I won't be able to test that for the time being, thanks to tendonitis in my left elbow!

Here is today's lift, and as always, thanks for reading:
