Squats
355 x 5
405 x 3
455 x 5
335 x 15, 13, 12
Last set dropped to 225x15, 135x10, 50x10
* Had 2 reps as a goal for 455, so nice. I've noticed that working with higher rep ranges lately has the first rep of anything over 405 feeling kinda heavy...and then the second rep feels the same or lighter. Compared to how I was before, I can just keep going. 

Even though I have never ran a consistent super squats program before, I have enough experience to know one should absolutely take advantage of higher rep squats when you're gaining weight. Used to do it with a 50 lb kettlebell for 50 reps a decade ago and that worked out pretty well for my standards at the time, my barbell squat went up from that.
