    No straps on last set. I'm going to continue with straps; however I will be incorporating some grip training. Without straps I would rip my hands greatly reducing the amount of volume.

    Plate pinches - 3 sets with 35 bumper plates
    2 sets with 25 bumper plates

    Just realized this is a 4-6% fatigue and not a 6-9%. Oh well, I'm pretty beat.

    Pec hurts, well what I have of a pec. Funny how I didn't notice I was missing a pec until years of lifting and it never bothered me until recently. Part of me feels like I have a degenerative disease. Who knows.

    Came in expecting more than I could give on the deadlift. Bench moved just fine contrary to norm. Not to upset. Wife wanted to drink last night and I had to wake up early to back up an old *** server.

    Thanks man. Sometimes I just feel like I have a cheat code for squat and deadlift. Thinking the gains are a result of volume and "muscle memory". Can't recall all my old rep PR but I know I'm already within 10-20% of them on squat and deadlift. Bench is still 25%+ away.

    In other news, I received a promotion and huge raise at work. We recently moved back to Texas from Vermont and my employer let me stay on. My prior employer here in Texas found out I was back and made a new position for me - cyber security admin and matched my current pay. Told my employer in Vermont so they threw money bags, training, travel and an even better title - senior systems/cyber security admin - at me. Hard to beat that especially with a 100% remote job.

    Beltless Squat
    405x1
    430x1
    455x1 @ 8.5

    Easy.

    Paused Bench Press
    205x1
    225x1
    240x1 @ 9

    Misgrooved on 240 and it was hideous.

    Sumo Deadlift
    425x1
    475x1
    535x1 @ 8.5

    Slow but smooth.

    Going to test in 4/5 days. Need to go when less people are in the gym. Excess conversations caused difficulty focusing. Goals for mock meet are:

    445/475/495
    235/250/260
    495/545/565

    Anything over a 1300 will feel great.

    Mock Meet

    Squats
    455x1 @ 8
    475x1 @ 9
    495x1 @ 9

    Comp Bench Press
    245x1 @ 9.5

    Sumo Deadlift
    535x1 @ 8.5
    565x1 @ 8.5
    605x1 @10 PR

    Got hunger after squats distracting me on bench. Managed to reign back focus and do well on deadlifts. This is ~50 off my best squat, ~70 off best bench and +20 on deadlift. Keep in mind I used straps today where as I never used them 4 years ago. I feel my deadlift is also 50-70 off what it used to be. Fun to think I had a 660 pull in me with straps.

    Have to reevaluate my goals for the year and build a new training block. Will continue RTS after a 2 week deload. This time with my own programming using the more modern approach with a daily single.
