Thanks mates. I assume the quick recovery from time off is all due to my work. It’s just nice to have everything going in the right direction with the meet around the corner. I do find when I have the day off work, that I am refreshed and all the weights move nice

that was a big squat PR Rob.
Maybe just maybe it took some out of the DL.
Quality workouts and PR’s lately.
Good luck on the meet next week.
Top effort mate, don’t stress about not getting the dead PR, it will happen, keep plugging away 
Sometimes they go up sometimes they stay down, but there is always tomorrow. Keep pushing mate and you’ll smash that deadlift.
Thanks just excited for the meet. My friend who is finishing school for KIN has decided to offer free coaching. I decided to take it, and see why not for the next meet whih is 21 weeks away. All I know is its an RPE/percentage/accessory work. Me being a WSBB for life type dude will love the challenge of reps which he plans to work me in slowly. If I like it i will stay woth him if not back to WSBB. Also anyone who knows me will know I am not very coachable so this will be a challenge for me.

Congrats on the meet!
9/9 is a great day on the platform. Those were some mighty powergrunts!
You’ve set the bar for yourself, now to continue smashing those new PRs.
Working with a coach should help keep you focused for training, that’s a good move.
