Had it only on fb but it made its way to ig from a buddy so I posted it. Here’s 795 on uncalibrated plates and 765 warm up. I think I’ll be closer to 820 when my lower back is feeling good.

Yea after rewatching i can see how that would be a challenge lol
Yea those collars only fit half on. I was going to attach a 5 in the center but then thought about using the straps to pull. Ended up hookgripping it anyway

This is 20 lbs over my best ever deadlift. My best with all calibrated is 765 after a double with 730. And my previous all time best was 775 with 2 100 lb plates per side then the rest 45s.

Benched today. Top set of 330x5. Hit a set of Pullups with a 35 lb kettlebell for 19. And db rows a set of 10 with 100,130 and 150. Some other accessory work after that. I think these Weighted Pullups are really doing some good.

Meant to post the other day. Bumped my squat day up to Friday instead of Saturday cause I knew I’d be covering a lot of ground Saturday morning liking for antlers. Worked up to a set of 445x11 on squat. 12 would’ve been a rep pr by 15 lbs but it got pretty hard. Did paused stiff bar deadlift against 200lbs in bands up to a double at 595. That was fairly rough but usually I get the extra day to recover before this session.

Woke up pretty tired today. Walked a lot of hills yesterday. Got to the gym late but managed to do alright. Reverse band squat top set of 565x4 and probably had a 5th but didn’t want to push it. Bands are -70 in the hole.

Benched light today up to 305x9 which may be a pr or tie one.
Just another gym lift on uncalibrated plates. 815 a bit smoother than 795. My back is feeling pretty good but not quite 100%, very close though. Followed it with squats top set of 455x8 and weighed Pullups sets of 10 with 15,30,45,and 60lb kettlebells.

I’m not trying to be a hater here, but do you think that would pass in a meet?
It’s been awhile since I actually lifted in or attended a PL meet, but I was a bit worried whether that lockout would get you three whites.
Its hard to see my lock out without pretty much a side view but it was close enough for me to count at the gym. I’m not going to be doing any comps with these types of plates that I know of. You can see my back sway back a bit and that is usually a sign it’s a decent lockout. Sometimes I tend to come straight up with it like the 795 and there my lower back was so beat up I couldn’t lock back at all.

No sweat, and I appreciate the “good enough for a gym lift” category. Just curious. I know a couple folks that let their gym lifts get sloppier and sloppier and then have a tough time dialing it back in for stricter competitions, that’s why I asked.
Yea this is actually far cleaner than two years ago when I first got to pulling sumo. That was embarrassingly bad. Usually the calibrated help a lot since it gets rid of most of the bar whip.
