Trying a new format to see if its easier to read. Squats felt pretty good, 365 felt pretty easy. I think I coulda hit it for another 1-2 at least. Deadlifts felt good, form feels dialed in pausing it. 385 was a slight ball buster but I think I could have done another. Paused just suck but you know you could do more. Some quick core stuff, keeping the volume low and intensity high right now. Meet in 10 days, feeling strong.
I remember failing 365 a few months ago, then I hit it recently for a pretty easy double. I should have left audio in from the first video because you can hear me unrack it and let out a “holy shit” breath/groan. Feels waaay lighter now.
Hell yeah on that squat PR, you definitely had a triple. Also, smashing pause dead, smashing indeed.

Yeah that dang height throws it all off, and no fruit by the foot is the secret.
Wow, I honestly thought you were around 185 lbs lol. I didn’t know you were a giraffe.

I am all the hog. Dat height doe.
Meet day
Squats-
385 good
405 fail
405 good
Opener was fairly easy, didnt really take it that seriously and it was slower than i wanted. Second was similar, didnt get tight enough and fell waaay forward at the bottom. Took the same weight again and hit it, much better and hit over 400 so I am happy.
Bench-
280 good
300 good
315 fail
Opener felt pretty easy. Second was somewhat slow and thought I could maybe hit 315, clay called it for the third. Took it and pretty much dive bombed it and then stalled and didnt flare when I should have. Technique failure, not a strength issue. Next time.
Deadlift-
405 good
445 good
465 good, PR
Pulls felt awesome. Opener was stupid easy. Second was still fairly easy, and also didnt even break form for the most part. Final attempt went waaay easier than expected, got in the right mindset, pulled it a little rounded but not bad. Didnt even stall, really happy with pulls. Had 10-20 in me at least. Gotta get that 500 next time.
Lower body
Upper body
This is just what I do personally, pardon the overall lack of quality.
Goblet squats (or just simply hanging out in the squat position) is incredibly overlooked, think ima start doing that again.
Also the end of the second video reminded me of that picture.
EDIT EDIT EDIT OH GOD EDIT
That picture really overwhelms my post. It completely destroys the fact that I wanted to be totally serious with my genuine demeanor and thankfulness. Clearly, worm boy not only bombed his photo, but also bombed my post!
Warmed up dynamics and soft tissue
Press-
Barx10
75X5
95X5
115X5
135X3
155X1
170X1
165X7, PR
135X8, slow eccentric
Close grip floor press-
185X10
185X9
185X8
32 pullups between pressing sets
Rows-
"140"x12, x12, x10, x8
Rear delt machine- 4x12
Good session to get back into things. Might have been able to do another pressing. Felt good tho. Floor press kicked my ass, triceps super pumped. Rows got a good squueze. Rear delts burn. Pullups didnt seem terrible hard between sets. Back to the grind.
