Max's Maxes: Squats and Bench Every Day

I’m knackered.

Weighed in at 90.9kg

Squat
Rushed warmup but it worked out.
195kg - like butter, 3 whites.
210kg - fastest ever, 3 whites.
220kg - faster than Mondays 217, 3 whites, 7.5kg comp PR and comeback PR/93kg PR.

Hit my goal and probably could’ve gone for 5kg more.

Bench
Warmup solid
107.5kg - lol, 3 whites.
115kg - smooth, 3 whites.
120kg - little wonky halfway up but was always moving well, 3 whites, 10kg comp PR.

Considered 122.5, opted for the safe option and missed out on 2.5kg which were probably there, maybe even 125kg to match my all time best. Still, the goal was 9/9 so safe option was the right call.

Deadlift
Warmups no problem
205kg - no problem, 3 whites.
220kg - fast, got away from me a bit around the knees but pulled it back in and locked out smoothly, 3 whites.
235kg - got convinced to stick an extra 2.5 on my planned 3rd. Same problem with bar control as 220, but moved nicely, especially as it’s only 5kg off my 105kg PR. 3 whites, comeback/93kg PR, 5kg comp PR.

Totalled 575kg at 90.9kg for a 22.5kg PR total weighing 7kg less than the last comp. 27 whites and plenty in the tank. 365 Wilks.
Pretty happy with that result and being back on the platform in general.

Think all my all time PRs will fall in the next couple of months, and cracking 600kg by university champs in March or April or something is looking likely.

Time for a rest, then a bit of volume and a focus on some variations. 120kg close grip and 170kg front squat sound like good goals for now. Deadlift technique wants a little work too.
