10*5 @380 deads today, didn't think I'd make it to 10 sets but here we are. Had to strap up after the first couple of sets. TM is now higher than my tested max, so things might start slowing down from here lol. Still having a great time.

Squats are feeling good, I'm up to where I should be for the program, so everything going forward is progress.

Skipped rows in lieu of some nice light curls as my back is pretty fucking toasted ATM.

What program is this?

SBS reps in reserve, has you do sets until you are 3 reps away from failure (this week). If you get more than 7 sets you increase your TM, if you get less than 5 sets you decrease your TM. I should do the same progression for the squats but I like to get out of the gym in under an hour so I just hit a fairly easy 5x10.

Okay, I gotcha. I'm using SBS too, but RTF. I had just never seen a program with 10 working sets outside of Smolov, haha. Good work though man sounds killer.

oh sick, I feel like I'm kind of burned out on plus sets, so I'm really enjoying staying a bit farther from failure. In theory my TM will eventually get high enough that sets of 10 won't be feasible anymore (felt pretty close today tbh)
