332.5/733x1 PR Squat. After one of the worst blocks heading into a competition of my existence, I found myself in a position that I have a real chance at PRing every lift next week. I’m proud of this one. This squat, and this whole block. Let me know what you think I’ll hit next week on the platform.

400.5/883 deadlift attempt for the win. About as close as any lift could ever be without making it. I'm incredibly proud of this effort and still a little surreal that this is something I'm genuinely capable of.

Ended the day with a 900/1984 total. Obviously short of the 2000lb+ plan but having a realistic chance at this pull for the win is something I would never trade. The hype around this moment was amazing and I appreciate every one of the post, high fives, and general support for things like this. Thank you guys for making these moments as cool as they are.

I'll have a full YouTube video of the meet up this weekend, but now, time to actually enjoy Vegas.

210/463 Bench PR. 15kgs over my best bench in a meet and 20kgs over what I did at my last meet. Year of the bench might just take me all the way to some sort of huge total.

Absolutely the most even and balanced my squat has felt in a long time. Left hip allowing a lot more load. Living here for a while as it gets faster.

Last warm up. Less speed than last week but so much better feel and balance.

Percentage based backdowns. About 15kgs lighter than last week since the single was hard but really allowed more great loading in the positions I wanted.

Didn’t even have paused deadlifts in my program until I made the video I’m posting next week. Could not be happier with how my deadlift feels at the moment.

The last few years, and even more so the last few months, have made me reflect a lot on my own motivation to keep going. I have never identified with the “me vs me” kind of language on the surface, but I think life and injuries have shown that I probably do have a stronger connection to that mentality than I thought. I posted a YouTube video today with some personal reflections about longevity and what actually makes for success over the long run for lifters of all levels. Check it out on my channel. by @davidwoolson

320/705 looking like the average training single again feels pretty nice.

Video next week on paused deadlifts is going to teach everyone what you should be trying to feel. Better slack pull and better fight for position.

Halting deadlifts are the fastest way to improve your sumo feeling and position. Do them. by @davidwoolson

Heavier and faster every week on every lift. Good training and good intent creating better training and even more intent.

Capping off the beltless training with a nice single. Didn’t have any specific goals for loads when I started, but this feels like a meaningful spot to end. One day I’ll make a video about how my thoughts around beltless training evolved through all of this. But I definitely feel like it has a lot more utility than when I started.

Chickened out on doing a third but still feel so good about the progress this block. I could write a lot about how meaningful it is to me right now to be confidently on the other side of my injury, especially at a tumultuous time in my personal life. But the overwhelming emotion is just excitement for the future and not relief to be done with the past.

First block not entirely focused on rehab in a long time knocked out a little all time PR. There is one secret to getting stronger and it’s very easy. Just don’t quit.

At least 300% stronger than a month ago. I’m pretty sure I can keep matching this pace for a while, so look out.

Leaner, meaner, and way more serener. (Get your SBD Serenity on the 28th)
