Max Effort Squat/Deadlift

Decided to try a new approach to squatting, plus my gym got an adjustable box! Its just amazing how they are pimping the place out!

Box Squats: 135x5, 225x3, 315x3, 405x2,
Threw on Briefs and Knee Sleeves
455x3, 495x3, 545x3
Dropped Height on the box from what it was to about I'd say 4 inches lower ish?
315x2, 405x2, 495x2

Rack Pulls from height 4 (Just Below My Knee)
135x3, 225x3, 315x3, 405x3, 495x3, 545x3, 585x3*

Leg Press: Countdown set 10-1 w/about 1000

Abs: 3 sets of 8

Been really upping the volume and trying to get back into a 3 lift guy. The countdown set has officially made me have to walk like both of my legs are broken. Basically what a countdown set is I do 10 reps, rack the weight, rest 10 seconds, then do 9 reps, rest 9 seconds, all the way down to 1 and it kills you. It would probably be really good on dumbbell rows or any kind of row...hmmm!

Crazy stupid heavy!
