I’ve been in wraps every couple weeks since you’ve been gone, I just can’t seem to wrap an X yet or I need stretchier wraps one of the two, I think I’ll order within the next couple weeks and what do you recommend for new knee wraps since I can’t seem to remember what you use. Saturday morning seems like the only feasible option for now, but I’d like to make it out atleast twice a week. Also for the SC wide or regular?
Now those are both hard questions… For knee wraps I like the titan THP wraps… That being said tons of people like the grippers and they are quite stretchy. I would be happy to sell you a pair as I have two and don’t much care for them. For the wide/regular… I personally really like the wide stance but I know that Dunn squats quite wide and wide the regular stance suit. I guess that is really up to you but I think that the wide stance was really easy to learn and would recommend it. We can work out specific training times when I get back home but I should be pretty flexible for sure. How are the knee wraps working for you btw?
Saturday:
Squat
100 x5
120 x5
140 x5
160 3x5
165 3x5
Was just plain excellent. Fast, good form.
Bench - short on time again bleh:
100 x12
120 x10
135 x7
120 x9
Decided that with the short time I would still get in a lot of volume. Worked out OK hahah.
I enjoy the knee wraps, I find if I’m out of them more than 6 weeks, my knee health goes down. I think I might just get a few different type of wraps just to try. I like the true black but they’re discontinued and I’d like something a little bit more aggressive for when I wrap tighter than I currently do. I think a wide stance would better since when I screw up my walk out my feet are always too wide apart.
Interesting about the knee health… I found a similar thing actually. If we squat together I will bring my various wraps for you to try.
Sunday:
CGBP:
100 x6
115 x5
130 3x4
145 3x3
Much better today. Moved well.
Squat:
120 3x10
150 x10 - meaningless pr

Haha I think I just might… You excited to have some competition down there hahahaha?
Anyways, flew back friday, in the gym saturday.
Squat:
235 x5
285 x5
335 x5
375 x3
*belt
415 x3
*wraps
455 x3
475 x3
485 x3
Considering I was jetlagged, am not used to knee wraps, and didn’t have my good squat shoes this is a pretty good start for nationals prep. On a sidenote, my old squat suit that used to take 10+min to crank on with suit slippers now slides on without slippers in like 30 seconds hahaha.
Bench:
205 x5
235 x5
265 x5
295 2x5
325 2x4
Very excited for what will happen to my bench over the next 8 weeks. I think I may see a big move in the bench as I get used to training on a decent setup and actually can hold the bar at the proper width.

I second this.
I figured you were going to train yesterday, but figured you didn’t want to train at 5am. We’ll have to figure out one night this week
.
Good work at Nationals.
