      so today is supposed to be ssb bar with 2 chains but I don’t have an ssb and only have 1 set of chains. RPE 8 but these are most definitely not an 8. the worst part is my warm ups felt great but working sets felt a lot heavier than what they are

      Good fight through those, did you end up dropping the weight down? Sometimes it’s just not there that day, that is why the RPE is a priority over the %. Maybe you take a set are that weight realize its too heavy, then reel it back.
      Overall the squats are looking nice, try to stay under the bar a bit more as you stand up (see how you knees shift forward a bit on the ascent). Keep the heels locked in and drive out to get up.
