My warm up sets for squats today was bar weight x 10, 95 x 10, 135 x 10, 185 x 5, 225 x 5.
My AMRAP set was a PR so I was on fire for PR's this week. That will get harder to achieve as this progresses. My training max sets felt easy for 1 rep which is excellent also but this week it is only 1 rep no more. Start priming the body for the heavier weights to come.
For squatting style I follow the starting strength technique, I will include two youtube videos at the bottom that break it down very well.

On paper the workout does not look like much but believe me I feel it. It's not all about crazy volume and heavy weights....
Squat it and the gains will come gym rats.
