Today went (surprisingly) so well, I came into the meet thinking I was gonna take some big 3rd attempts so I didn’t think I’d go 9/9, but thanks to Allen and Tanaya and a boatload of luck it happened. Squats couldve moved better but still very happy with 518, and I hit my top end expectations for bench and deadlifts 🥳🥳🥳. Great experience, can’t wait to compete again by @behindthebar.bells

Week 8 Bw: 205
293kg/646lb Conv Deadlift PR
306kg/675lb Sumo Deadlift PR (straps)
Time to deload for the rest of the week. Was looking forward to trying 295kg today all of last week, but today felt terrible, lwu of 270kg felt terrible like a 8. Lockout was kinda sus from the front but I’ll take it. I think I might have 300kg on a good day tbh, peaking block starts next week. by @behindthebar.bells

Week 8 almost done!! Just over 5 weeks out now

BW: 201 (been a bit busy and little appetite for a lot of this week)
S: 212.5kg/470lb @ 7.5
B: 142.5kg/315lb @ 8.5
D: 280kg/617lb @8-8.5

Deadlifts are moving nice, gonna (try to) do 295kg/650lb on Monday, then deload for the rest of the week. Squat moved so well, I was surprised, this is the most weight I’ve attempted to squat since last February. I hit 440x5 RPE 10 after ascending RPE 5-7 triples which was also very nice. Bench moved not great, but tbh last week was surprisingly good so I can’t complain by @behindthebar.bells

Week 7 in San Diego visiting @luceetan
STS Performance was a great gym, met Kristen Dunsmore there too 😳

(1) Squat Top Set Single 210kg/463lb @ 8
First time using 25kg squat bar, thing was thick as hell

(2) Squat Triple 190kg/419lb @ ??
Worked up to this after some RPE 5-6 triples. By this point I felt some hip impingement and you can’t really see from the angle, but I’m shifting heavily to right leg. Bar also was very sharp, dug into my left scapula so I was thinking about that during the lift too

(3) Bench Top Set Single 137.5kg/303lb @ ??
Squat bar gave me some acute bicep tendonitis today so the first rep of all my sets were wonky

(4) Bench Top Triple 136kg/300lb @ 8.5
Really happy with this considering the bicep being sore, this was also after 6 sets of RPE 4-7 triples

(5) Deadlift Top Set Single 275kg/606lb @ 8-8.5
Was on <4hrs sleep and felt bad, I also realized I have a problem of shifting my weight back onto my heels after the weight gets to my knees which is not good especially at higher intensities as I drag the bar past my quads

Theres been so much volume this whole block, I have a bunch of minor aches and injuries, only one more week till I deload so hopefully I survive one last week. Regardless, everything is moving very well and I decided on trying to use instagram posts as a way to log my training so thats why the post is so long

BW around 200-203 this week, my goals are to hit at least 235/160/300 before I graduate. Deads moving extremely well, honestly I think theres a very slim chance of 310+ (🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔵) but that would be crazy by @behindthebar.bells

(2) 147.5kg/325lb (+2.5kg/5.5lb all time PR)
