I've actually been quite amazed by how much weight I can push even after riding for 3-5 hours. My legs will be tired, but I'm still able to put up some solid numbers. Nothing like waki, but a lot for me.

In fact, from a squat perspective, I'm limited more by weakness in my back than weakness in my legs. My legs could handle probably another 50 or 60 pounds - probably around 315 total, but I'm reluctant to do so for fear of tweaking my back. (I have a history of low back issues.) Still, I'll get there in time.

Also, I do a mix of high-rep/low weight, and low-rep/high weight. So I often start doing 20 squats at 95 pounds then work my way down/up, adding weight and reducing reps. I also tend to do pyramids, so I keep lifting after I've hit peak weight.
