Squats and Weighted Pull-ups

Workout 19 November 2010:

Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Weighted Pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Results:
Squats: 225-235-245-255-260-265-270lbs
Pull-ups: 35-45-55-65-70(c)-75(c)-80(c)lbs
(c) = chin-up grip

Previous best:
Squats: no 1x7s worth comparing, 1RM is 275lbs (17 Feb 08)
Pull-ups: 55-60-65-70-75(c)-80(c)-85(c)lbs (28 Sep 09)

Today's workout was at CrossFit Confluence. Despite not hitting any PRs today, I haven't squatted this much weight in almost two years, and it's been about one year for the pull-ups. I'm very pleased at my strength gains (or really, re-gains) over the past few months. Within the next year, it's reasonable that I'll be able to hit a 300lb back squat and 100lb weighted pull-up.
