PR
OK i looked back at my old training log ( i started a new on in July) to see my old PR's. They are as follows -
Bench - 7/5/02 - 235 x 3 (calculated max of 250)
Deadlift - 2/18/02 - 385 1RM
Squat - 7/22/02 - 275 x 10 (calculated max of 367)
Current PR's since starting Westside -
Bench - 235
Deadlift - 428 (+43)
Squat - 315
Guess the question is the calculated PR's any good? I know my bench has gone down because of change in form. Squat I think has gone up. But before Westside I never went for a 1RM on Squats.
Comments? Ideas?

ck - good question - I have lost the ability to do higher reps on bench since starting the program....it is possible that the same might happen to you on squats

Well, when I first started training as a PL, I tried all sorts of tricks to guesstimate what my max would be. Hannibal had to tell me, several times, that there's no way any of those calculations would ever be accurate. You just don't know unless you've tested it.
Compare Westside PR's to Westside PR's...that's the only true apples to apples, IMHO.
