Get a new back squat 1RM.

Do 8 sets or less:

  1. 5 reps at 50% (160#)
  2. 4 reps at 65% (208#)
  3. 3 reps at 75% (240#)
  4. 2 reps at 85% (272#)
  5. 1 rep at 90% (280#)

Then you have 1-3 attempts at a new 1RM. I did:

  1. 1 rep at 315#
  2. 1 rep at 345#
  3. 1 rep at 385# (failed this attempt; I should have tried 365# as I got 345# easily)

Then:

  • max reps at 85% of new max (295#) -- I got 4 reps

I did not participate in the skills testing afterwards as it was all shoulder intensive and am giving my shoulder a break. I worked on mobility and did a bit of rowing instead.
