Sumo Block Pulls
7x4@285…did the first 3 sets without a belt and then had to put a belt on. These were hard because of the volume aspect, once I put the belt on it was hard as in heavy.
Bench
2@145 (RPE 9), 4x3@135, 6@135 amrap…best I’ve benched since I’ve been in Mobile by myself. Self hand offs went well and the weight wasn’t bad. 135 actually felt great.
Box Squat
6x4@205 no belt and 90 sec rest for the first 5 sets. These are always complete death but my strength was there and so was form so I held on.
Sumo
4x3@295 (RPE 8), 2x2@330…so this was a good sumo session, 330 was just as fast as last week at 320. Positioning was good just want it to be smoother probably
Banded Bench with mini band
8x2=3@120…this was heavy…got a little better as I went but overall not explosive and lockout was rough
Calbe Row
4x10@110
Single Leg RDL
3x8@40
KB Swing
4x12@50
DB Step Ups
3x10@25s R/L
Paused Sumo
5@135, 3@225, 2@255, 7x2@275 no belt, these felt pretty good. Each first rep was super easy off the ground but a bit of grind on the second rep. Not hard enough to add a belt though
Squat
bar, 5@135, 3@185, 2@215, 3x2@235, 3x1@250…the doubles were really good but the singles started out okay and then got worse as I went. Last single was RPE 9.5
Squat
bar, 5@95, 5@135, 3@185, 2@205, 1@225 (belt), 1@245, 2x1@265 (first rep was terrible due to technique and 2nd was better but I still wasn’t squatting very well), 3@235
Bench
bar, 5@95, 3@115, 1@135, 1@145, 0@155 (failed a match PR, disappointed)
Deadlift
bar, 5@135, 3@225, 2@275 (belt), 1@315, 1@335, 1@355, 1@370 (5 lb PR), 1@380 *would not have counted in a meet due to a slight downward movement but the 370 would have counted and it was relatively easy.
