Psycho Pretends to PL

[Anthony21]

Damn, ****ty deal with bench. I didn't know about changing openers either, though hopefully won't find myself in a sitch to need to. Curious though why you went up another 2lbs for your 3rd?

Way to stick it out and finish the meet though, that took some heart.

It didn't take heart. It took him the realization that he didn't want to be a pussy

Live & learn and destroy the next meet bro.

Good work on the PRS though and good for building off them for next meet.

Eaten like **** the past few days while traveling and not much water

Went in today but fel like ****. Was exhausted. 5 hr each way trip on the bus, ****ty hotel bed, and emotional double header. I should have waited but supposed to work a golf tourney sat. All power racks were full so i tried to pull. Worked up to 335x2 (supposed to be 4x8) and banged it. Was gonna walk on treadmill but had an emergency. My stomach has been jacked up the past few days from my eating. Im gonna go home and pass out after work

[DAaaMan64]

... you sound pretty busy right now. 0_o Way to give it the good effort though.

[FenderElectrics]

yeah no way I'm pulling 4x8 after what you described going through leading up to the lift

I would need to sleep in a cloud for 12 hours the night before while eating 10k cals to feel good about a 4x8 DL workout lol

I meant 4x6 and was supposed to be after 4x6 squats. Unfortunately season is over so shouldnt have too many more crazy days.

[arian11]

The same thing I said about your accessory exercises applies to your main lifts. The most important thing right now in your training block is getting the sets & reps in. If you can't do the prescribed weight, then drop the weight. If warming up you know you can't do 4x6 @ 335, then do 4x6 @ 275 or whatever. Or after you do the 335x2, drop down to 275 or something and do your 6s. Volume is a key driver of progress. Get whatever work you can get in.

[illiniStrive]

Work capacity is just about getting enough of those volume sessions in so your body has no choice to adapt You'll get there!

[NorthStrong]

What is your best bench for a single in the gym or meet mayne?

180x8x5 seems like it should be easy for you I thought. Need to check in here more often.

The rep work you're doing will definitely pay off in the long run, especially far away from a meet sets of 5-10 are where it's at.
