Squat 335x0, 275x5, 275x5, 275x5, 275x5, 275x5
The first rep of the first set I had like a little brown out, thankfully I had safeties in but after that I dropped the weight down to 275 for 5x5 instead of 335 5x3. Not exactly sure what happened. I think it may have been my preworkout, I found some old CRAZE and tried it. Don't think I will do that again.

Terrible workout.
Squat Did 2x5 @ 295, then 1x3 @ 295. Then had a stinger in my foot. Lowered weight to 250, same kind of numb sting in left foot. I think its from wearing my weight lifting shoes too long on concrete. So I just called there. Frustrating squatting last two sessions.

Not sure how I feel about this workout. Got some good work in, DL was tough and so was the 320. Meet is in 1 week. Still trying to choose openers. Would like to do 400/300/430 but I'm leaning towards 400/295/415.

Meet Report 7/29/18

I competed at USAPL NW Regionals in Tacoma, in the 93kg weight class. I usually walk around at 210-213 (~96kg) so I decided to just do a water cut for the meet. Woke up at 5:45am the day of at 206.0, so I hit the treadmill in the hotel for awhile, lost the pound and weighed in at 92.7kg.

Squat: Warmup went pretty well and I opened with 185.0kg (408lbs) and it felt great so I jumped to 192.5(424) and it was hard but not crushing or anything, maybe RPE 9.0 so I jumped again to 200.0 (441) and sunk it deep for 3 whites. Pretty stoked about this for several reasons. First I've had bad knee tendinitis for about 4 months leading into July when it finally started to go away. Second, we hadn't really hit anything big in training, I never went about 410 in the last 6 months. Third, on Thursday I did some singles with 315 and they felt terrible, like RPE 8, and I thought I was sunk. Turns out that is all part of the plan.

Bench: Opened with 132.5 (292). All whites. I dropped to this from 135.0 (298) because it was very hot this day I wanted to maintain confidence. I've also opened too heavy before on the bench and then you have no where to go after 2nd attempt. Smoked 137.5(303) and nailed 140.0 (309) for the third. I am second guessing myself some on the attempt selection because I think 142.5 (314) might have been there but I didn't want to make a 5kg jump on third bench attempt.

Deadlift: Opened with 187.5 (413). Felt very easy, I think because of the quality bar versus what I use at my house. Here I think I made a mistake. I only jumped 5kg on 2nd and 3rd attempt. Kicking myself now because both 192.5(424) and 197.5(435) flew up and I think I could have hit 205-210. I let the cute girl at the scorers table talk me into going 9/9. Dang it.

Cliffs: Went 9/9 with 440/309/435. All PR's at this BW.

Thanks man. What is crazy is how we never really went heavy in training. Opened my eyes for sure.
