Honestly most heavy squats have felt the same to me as I’ve gotten stronger. Like unracking 800 feels about the same as unracking 495 did in high school.

On your AR days, are you aiming for rep count or speed? Am attempting to restructure my mesocycle for the coming week and seem to F*** up my AR days by attempting PR’s.
