5x5x5 Low Bar Back Squat

295,305, 315

I’m happy with this considering last time I dback squatted was in April at Crossfit Newport Beach. Unlike a lot of people, I don’t like the feel of Olympic lifting shoes when I low bar back squat. I’m a Chuck Taylors guy- I really like the flat heel.

Don’t think I hit my 5 rep max on this. I’m pretty good at going overhead, so this isn’t really a priority lift for me right now.
