Is that what a comp bench looks like?

You may not like it but this is what peak performance I mean powerlifting performance looks like

I meant the actual Bench… Not the person on it.

Ooooooooooooooh

Can’t make it out but I’m pretty sure that’s an Eleiko comp bench rack. Theres a lot of different racks on the market tho and some of them are quite different like there’s ones with pads you sink more so I’ve been told by a reliable source.

190 felt like a 5 rep weight today, so thinking I might go higher for my squat opener.

150 felt like a double / tripple, probably my opener.

Poor lighting, bet compensated with generous un-spotted pause. Extra arch for the @guineapig

Experienced powerlifter working in with me here, had me do all my warm-up sets arching over a foam foller, felt good! Definitely felt like it was helping improve my arch and would work it over time.

A bit worryingly, a bit of hamstring pain on the last set of goodmornings. Stupid new exercise.

Not sure if its pulled or just tweaked but either way it doesn’t feel good. Hopefully its just a light strain and I’ll be OK for deadlifts on Wednesday.

I did good mornings once lol it’s easy to go too lower for your flexibility I think

I will never do good mornings. RDLs but my hams just fine.

Holding steady sub 86kg. 85.8 last two days.

Starting my low carb stint next week, with only 3kg to drop thinking I might not need dehydration at all.

Hamstrings feel OK today, will see how they fare throught the deadlift warmups. Definitely swapping out the programmed good-morning accessory.
