      Squat day again:

      I backed off of the weight and made an effort to go deeper on the squats. This set was probably my best attempt, though I think knee stabilization could still improve.

      This is the third day of squats in a row where my calculated percentage of my 1RM (also calculated) was too much weight. The program was calling for RPE9/90%, but I only worked up to about 80% of my 1RM before it felt like RPE9. Does it make sense to adjust my calculated 1RM accordingly?

      Zach, those are deep enough and then some. As far as the 1RM goes, you’ve already calculated it then you are calculating off a calculation. Moving forward, until you take a single at an RPE 10 or are told to test just work with the RPE.
