This is fucking badass man.

I love the nod to whoever was off screen at the top of the last rep.

425 1x easily the best 425 I’ve ever done. It came up like 135.

Unfortunately something in my left hamstring felt tweaked after that. I was pretty tight today, and I probably should have warmed up more extensively. Anyway, it’s still not feeling quite back to normal right now, so I’m satisfied with my call to back off. It’s very rare that I have to do anything like that. Should be 100% by Friday though, which is when I’d like to hit maybe a 445. Then it’s just light weight till the meet.

385 1x PR
405 1x re-PR

some good slangin. I don’t use that thing often, but that was technically a 40lb paused rep PR with it.

The 405 slanged:

My 440 squat:

I have a video of my last meet PR (which was 440) and it was one of the ugliest grinders ever. I swayed off to the side and got way bent over and everyone at the meet afterwards complimented me on what a strong back I had… (cuz my squat was shit and I did a goodmorning; thanks I guess…)

I’m really excited that I smoked this rep so easily. I surprised myself. The form improvements have really payed off.
