I really have no idea..

but i would guess 150lbs at the bottom, pretty much 0 at the top. In the past, whatever I could single with these bands, I figure was 100lbs higher then what I could hit without them.

squats where all pretty easy, 2 weeks out is not the time to really strain on a squat imo. I was not pushing each one with max effort like in a contest, either.

last meet i did 800 x 3 before the meet and 900 x 1. I dropped the single this time around due to the fact it took far more then it gave in terms of recovery..

BUT.. 820ish x 3 with no knee wraps and loose straps is a better lift then 900 x 1 with tight straps and knee wraps. I figure with knee wraps and tight straps i would be around 950lbs now on that lift.
