came here for some pre-meet inspiration.
Way to grind out that deads PR! lovely victory cry and earth shattering release.
I’m so channeling this tomorrow.
Stopping to check out the training in here, looks like you’re still killing it as normal.

Squats
Great day squatting with the group. There were four of us, two of us (Me and Archangel) hit PRs and the other two (Scooby and Foggy-J) narrowly missed PRs, but with some tweaks to their form, they will soon be smashing those plateaus.
They squatted raw, I squatted geared. Got a 680 for a 5lb pr and then muscled up a rough 700 for a 25lb pr, though my form went to hell and back, now I know what I need to work on between now and the meet. Archangel hit 545 raw for a 10lb pr, made even more impressive because this was returning from a rough lower back injury. He then wanted to work on his deadlift form, and hit a 10lb deadlift pr with a 485 pull.

Been a while since I checked in here. Great progress. Going to kill it at your first meet. Multiply or single ply geared? What’s your weight class going to be?
herc - thanks bud
Major - Single Ply, I aim to be in the 275 weight class.
Incline treadmill x 30 min
Mother Effer! you are a monster my man!
You are absolutely smashing some squats and DL’s up in hurr.
How much are you weighing now? are you going to have to cut any weight to get to that 275 class? you’re going to smash on that Meet my friend.
Damn, week after week you’re puttin up these insane weights! Keep killing it brotha!
Great deadlift man doing some awesome work. I wish I could have made it this weekend but somehow drill weekend always falls on a day I want to do something with exception of the meet of course.
