315x10 belt and straps
GHR

Finished up quick to go eat. Pleased with how sumo went, 515 still felt pretty quick and 525 is there once I get a little more practice pulling this way. This makes me wonder where my conventional is at, may try reverse band sumo in a few weeks because I feel strong off the floor so who knows where I’d be at if I worked on my lockout.
All the volume on monday probably had some effect today, 215 probably would’ve gone but I didnt have a spotter. BW 187(!) in the morning on an empty stomach no less!

Left quick to eat, first time pulling in the suit, not sure where to go from here. Maybe I need to try it with the straps up next time since its loose in my hips, actually didnt have too much trouble getting to the bar. Frustrating.
Decline Sit Ups
40lbs of chain x10,10,10
no chain x20
Was just gonna go raw but screw 5 reps lol. Turned into a suit session with scoops, brought my stance in, toed out, and brought my hands closer to my body to get my back in a better position. Worked really well, got a lot of technique stuff to work on with the suit but I think theres some potential down the road.

Gonna have to look back and see what my former SSB PR was but I’m pretty sure this shattered it, brought my stance in a little and toed out per scoops’ suggestion (he really knows what hes talking about lol).
Watch the difference between the miss and the one you got with the thicker bumper. The only thing different I see is that little sitting back in the hole (it was on the way up though and not on the way down) when you go a deeper. I think that’s why you got folded up and I think it’s glutes. I also think when you get them stronger your squat will increase rapidly. You should really try some glute activation stuff everyday and expecially right before training. It really did wonders for me. I’ll show you what I mean next time I see you in the gym.
