Meet is on 4/20…I’ve got a mini-junio-smolov for bench and squat going until 4/13…week before I’ll do some max attempts to see where I’m at:
Today’s work
Bench and squat (bench am, squat pm)
1355
1855
2253
2758*4 (I think I may have messed up on the squat and done a few sets of 3…either way, hopefully I won’t be dead tomorrow…haven’t done much lately so hesitated before jumping in, but hopefully will be alright)
Weight is around 190. competing at 181.
What are your goals for max attempts at the meet?

That’s a really awesome bench, especially without a lift off.
Concerning your other post in GAL, I’ve shucked a few oysters in my time and am quite happy to pass on a few pointers…
ALWAYS, ALWAYS remember, knife TOWARDS body.

Nyuck…did get my knife and gloves…shucked 3 dozen a couple weeks ago…in typical Sen fashion the fishmonger wench has a crush on me so she gave me an extra dozen…ended up throwing them out and have been feeling bad about it, but it’s a lot of fookin’ work!

I’m daydreaming for:
Squat: 325/345/375
Bench: 300/325/345
Dead: 415/445/475
Total 1195 if I hit them all…which would actually be 153 lbs greater than my last meet…which makes me wonder if I’m insane, or just pansied out last meet…leaning towards the former…but not opposed to believing the latter.

Your squat has really improved, insanity has its place, I think you can do it

I hope you hit everything you’re going for. A 9 for 9 day is something I have yet to achieve but I want it my next meet.

Yeah. I’d like that someday too. I’ve never even gone 8/9.
Good luck Sen!
Good luck at the meet. Have I asked before why your bench is so close to your squat?
You WILL hit those numbers!

Because 20 years ago I was positive I’d make the NFL (along with all the other guys on my HS Football team) if we had a kick-ass bench. I spent 3-5 days in the gym hitting my chest with no lower body work…guess old habits die hard

goddam right.
Saturday’s work out
Bench in the morning and squat in afternoon
1355
1853
2251
2751
295103
I’m weighing about 192 at the moment…feeling good except my right groin…shoulders are starting to get cranky, but feeling really strong…squat is feeling good with more emphasis placed on proper set-up straight from unracking the bar and not grunting

I went 9/9 my first meet and 8/9 my second. Yay me.

A 153 lb improvement would be amazing.
Best of luck.
