413.5 X1,1 aka 187.5kg
Scarecrows
5lbs 3X25
Lu raises
5lbs X15,15,15
Even though both 413s came up slowly, they didn't feel truly hard, if that makes sense.
I'm actually pleased to know I can stand up with this any day.
I remain changed since the back tweak, but i'm probably actually stronger, and much lighter bodyweight.
Hit depth on everything today first try.
This is good for confidence going into the meet.
If i match my best it will be a win, and i have several sessions left, so maybe a new meet best can still be had.
Fridays have seemed the slower day recently, so perhaps these will be snappier Sunday.

Forgot and did all my upper accessories early before bench.
Made things harder for the singles.
Got a fine "opener" rep with 237, then tried a long pause and forgot to press back, so that made things harder than they needed to be.
Moved up to 242.5 and the bar was moving around during the pause.
Went for it again and got a good still pause, but it came up slowly.
Got all the work done and i'll just aim to do better next bench session.

Re: Wilhelm's Will To Power
Proud of this.
Been modding there a long time, and we do a lot to help new lifters.
I enjoy doing tutorial videos, form checks, and linking to useful information.
As well as just being supportive in general.

Re: Wilhelm's Will To Power
Thanks, Cole.
A bodyweight PR is still a PR ; )
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm on my rest days now, so just my upper accessories.
4 sessions each for bench and squat, and two for deadlift remain before the meet.
I think i'll be ready.
I know i'll be ready for a week off after.

Going to stick with 107.5kg/237lb for opener
Then 112.5kg/248 2nd
Go for 115kg 3rd
Don't know what all to say.
I guess bench really is sensitive to bodyweight loss.
I'll be thrilled to get 115kg meet day.
Between now and then i just need to really dial in 112.5kg/248 for a longer pause for some cushion meet day.
Bumping my "low stress" dips up 10lbs today.
May be too late to help much, but i'll get 4 days in with that.
Going to see if i can dial in 192.5kg for a squat second so i can go for 195kg 3rd and make up for bench some.
I'll see how 225kg DL moves this Wednesday.
Would like that for a 2nd as well

Looks like i'll be doing the same 2nd attempt as last year
217.5kg/480lb
Something something lighter bodyweight.
Still disappointed.
At least i know this is there for a 2nd.
Couldn't have much worse conditions than two failed attempts at 225kg before this.
