Tomorrow I am going for 310 and right now I am hurting like fuck. What are some better ideas? Serious answers result with reps. Thanks



OOR.
Im my opinion if your doing that routine and then do one rep at 295 your doing a glorified warm up and then one good rep. I guess if your just working on your one rep max it would be ok for a while...
i normally do 135x10 185x10 for warmups then 225x10 275x8 315x4 then back down to 225 to 250 depending on how i feel and just rep out all i can get. I rest about 3-4 mins between sets. Ill switch up between heavy and light. If i was you I would start doing more reps and sets above the 220 range since you should have the strength if you have a 1rm of 295.
