1800+ Raw Total And 800+ Deadlift Drug Free 181 Class

Going to put up a video from yesterday of just the squat section. Changed my mind about the comp I’m going to do it take what I get on squat and hit some good numbers for bench and deadlift.

Hit a new best today with close grip bench but took everything else light

Close grip went
135x10, 225x8, 275x4, 315x1, 350x1
absolutely flew 3/4 to lock out then a got pretty slow.

Back held up today for a 2 rep pr on squat with 405. And beltless. Decline went pretty good too

Squat went
135x10, 225x8, 315x3, 405x12- previous best was 10 beltless and 9 belted.

Decline was after so was still slightly out of breath and tired from that squat set

135x10, 225x8, 275x4, 325x1, 375x2, 405x1.

Would really like to be able to pull off a big squat at the comp but well see how it goes. I’d be happy with anything over 550. Body weight is right at 185. So if I keep it there I won’t lose any strength from that small cut

Lifts just sucked today. Legs were tired for deads so think that played a role. Puling without straps now grip is no problem but need to work on tightness griping over under. My goal for this comp is to get a better total than my comp 7 months ago (1500). Not sure if I’ll be 100% power wise but well see how it goes.

Hit some squats yesterday and just three sets of dumbbell press

Squat went
135x10, 225x8, 315x3, 385x2, 425 3 sets of 5. First set beltless

Dumbbell press went
80sx 10, 105sx10, 125sx10

back just feels Beat to shit

After working all day and hitting the gym my back was still tight but not much pain. Hit some heavy to me leg press up to 12 plates per side for a set of 4. Want to use that to keep some of the intensity in my training since I cant hold much more than 405 on my back right now. Lost some power on deads but hopefully I’ll get everything figured out and working in the next few weeks. Worked up to 365 on bench with a healthy pause moved slow but went.

Back held some weight today. So squat is coming back along. Looks like I should do pretty good as long as I can keep it moving at this pace.

Squats went
135x10, 225x8, 315x3, 405x3, 425x3, 445x3, 465x3
All squats beltless with reps left.

Band bench +50lb at top
135x10, 225x6, 275x4 paused, 315x2 paused, 335x1tng

Not much today just heavy leg press and kettle bell bench 3 sets of 15 with 32kg per side. Going to see how I feel tomorrow possibly squat up to 475-485 beltless triple. That may actually be a best beltless since I normally wear it after 405. See how it goes might belt up

Well saying fuck that comp. Just fucked my back warming up on squats. In a lot of pain right now

Sorry man. Been following your log and seein this go up and down every day. Rest up you’ll be killin it again soon

Thanks dude. I should be back killing it by early next year for sure. Itll give me a chance to get some more volume in

Taking it slow back. Didnt lift yesterday, today I really only hit feet up bench so the excessive arch didn’t aggravate my back. It seems to heal up and I don’t have much pain unless I put weight on my back. Im going to ask in the rehab forum. But any way heres my sets on bench no leg drive. Video is up

135x10, 225x8, 275x6, 315x4, 340x2
don’t know what happened on the second rep with 340. It wasn’t heavy but came off the chest and stalled and I started laughing and grinded it up. Very odd rep.

Messed with feet up bench again. Back feels pretty good went to a chiropractor today so well see how it goes.

Bench went
135x10, 225x8, 275x5, 315x2, 350x1, 275x8

Hit some reps on decline. No back pain now but going easy on it for now. Hitting light accessory work

Decline went
135x10, 225x8, 275x14, 275x12, 275x10.

Some light sumo deadlift today and close grip band bench

Sumo pulls were
135x10, 225x10, 315x20 - this was ridiculously easy but got out of breath, normally I stop from getting tight. Going to slowly work my way up to see what I can hit.

Close grip Band bench was light as well
135x10, 165x10, 185x10, 205x8.

Hit some more sumo pulling a bit heavier. Its too hard to go light when deadlift doesn’t bother it. Also hit flat bench with feet on the bench and kettle bell bench

Deadlift went
135x10, 225x10, 315x10- paused 2-3" off floor. 365x6 paused, 365x9 paused

Flat bench went
135x10, 225x8, 275x4, 315x4, 345x1- paused.

Kettle bell bench was 28kg per side for 10,12,18 reps

Hit some sumo pulls just up to 405x12 paused 2" off the floor. Taking it easy on squat for a few more days

Back is feeling pretty good again hopefully it stays this way. Hit some normal heavy band bench and light squats

Band bench (+50ish at top) went
135x10, 225x6, 275x3, 315x3, 345x1.

Squats were just 5 sets of 10 with 135.

Hit a little bit of leg press, light squats and only two sets of dummbell press

Dummbell press was
75sX25, 115x13

squats were just 5 sets of 10 at 135

Today was just a shit day missing 365x2 on bench and some 135 conventional pulls not worth the time writing about. Will probably be pulling 455 max paused reps sumo tomorrow

I’m sure it’s disappointing to not be on top of your game, but I think if you take a figurative step back and look at what you’ve already accomplished, you’ll see what the people following your log see. Smashing weights, superior drive, and seriously aggressive training sessions. I have no doubt that you’ll be back on top in no time after giving yourself proper healing time. I don’t think you’ve got it in you to fail.
