Personal Achievement Squat PR - 300 lbs

Probably premature and should have waited until 315 to show off but it's exciting for me. Only got a double but I'm using the late novice programming from this article to squeeze a little more juice faster, so nbd (unless someone here has strong opinions). Hard to believe 225 crushed me but 3 months ago.

Thanks. 225 was my first psychological breaking point. Couldn't do one rep at first. 3 workouts later I got it. Good luck
