Not touching a weight until next Thursday which is probably a good thing since I really have no motivation to lift right now. Just going to do cardio and also relax a little bit on my diet. Still have a ways to go with my body fat but getting really close to were I want to be. Depending on the time of day and what I ate is how good my abs look and quads. Here is a picture I took today.

Actually lost an 1" off my arms during the cut. Lower body fat seems to give the appearance of them being bigger than they are.

Did cardio at home today, really didn't feeling like going to the gym just to do cardio. So this week is a mock meet for me and going to run everything as I am doing a meet but everything will be a day earlier and testing my maxes on Friday. Going to try a different water cut since last time dragged it out for 4 days total. This time since I am weighing in on Thursday going to try and cut almost all the water Wednesday depending on what I weight tomorrow after I get up and get going. Weight is up a little since I relaxed on my diet last week so starting out at 178lbs.

Cardio; E: 60 mins**At home again
So started Sunday weighing 180lbs before I made a few adjustments. Last 4 days been taken Xpel, carbs around 60 grams and took a laxative yesterday. With those few adjustments weighed 173lbs yesterday and decided not to continue to 165lbs since I don't know if I am doing the meet or not no sense on torturing myself for nothing. Everything comes down to my deads and right now have zero confidence. I pulled 405x5 8 weeks ago and every since things have been going backwards in a big time. If I cannot pull around 425lbs without it being a real struggle wont be dong the meet.

Squats;
1 set 7 reps 135lbs
1 set 5 reps 225lbs
1 set 2 reps 275lbs
4 sets 1 rep 315lbs, 335lbs, 350lbs, 365lbs
Looks like I added +25lbs last 8 weeks to my squats so pretty happy about that and made sure my last set was deep enough. My heavy wraps are good for +25 to +30lbs so should be sitting around 390 to 395lbs with them on. Feel like in the next 9 weeks could probably add another 15 to 20lbs. First couple weeks going to add in a lot of volume and also on light squat days do leg presses.
Bench;
1 set 5 reps 135lbs
1 set 3 reps 185lbs
1 set 2 reps 225lbs
3 sets 1 rep 250lbs, 275lbs, 285lbs
3 sets 1 rep 255lbs, 265lbs, 280lbs**Comp. bench
Last set of comp. flew up and I know could have hit 290lbs today but don't like asking for help multiple times. My gym bench really didn't increase but over the last 8 weeks started at 270lbs comp. bench so that improved nicely. Going to focus a lot on triceps and making sure I hit shoulders more often but going to do the same layout.
Deads;
2 sets 3 reps 225lbs, 275lbs
4 sets 1 rep 315lbs, 385lbs, 405lbs, 425lbs
Last set was not as smooth as I wanted but pretty sure had another 10 to 15 more pounds in me. Really stumped on what to do for deads but feel the most important thing is to make sure I am recovered all the way moving forward and not pushing them to hard. Going to focus a lot on RDL's and on lighter days do Dbl SLDL's. One idea is for deads start at 335lbs just for singles and add +15lbs a week and focus more on assistance work.
So going to request time off for 12/2 and 12/3 to do the meet. I really want a clean sweep of all the state records for the class I am going to compete in and really it comes down to deads. Here are the USPA state records for Classic Raw, Age 45-49, 165lbs:
Squats; 352.70

Going to follow for bench/ squats what I did the past 8 weeks. For deads going to start at 315 for singles and each week add 20lbs. First 4 weeks will pull twice a week since it will be lighter weights and one day will be sumo and the other conventional. Main focus will be RDL's and think with 7 weeks will do 7,7,5,5,3,3 for reps. Really think there isn't much I can do to increase my deads besides concentrating more on the supplemental stuff and staying fresh through out the prep.

Last Friday took more out of me than I thought. Today just did the main stuff. Thinking instead of just conv. deads on my lighter days of deads will do them with about a 3 sec pause at the knees. This will also help in keeping the weight down to on those days.

Definitely need to de-load after maxing on Friday. 1 week is not going to kill me and in the bigger picture. Over the next 8.5 weeks I am really not going to increase my lifts that much anyways. Going to do some lighter work the rest of the week just so I can get back in the habit of hitting the gym. Having trouble coming up with a split since Monday's are now my Friday's and typically only sleep about 4 hours when I get home in the morning on my Friday's. I could try this, only thing is Friday's could be longer than I want but could super set my bench assistance with a lower body.

with only 4 hours of sleep it still seems like you recover better than I do these days. I was just talking to a buddy yesterday who's bench is stalled and I was telling him I feel like I need to space my bench every three-four days instead of every other day. for me a bench day on a monday seems to bounce back best on Thursday vs weds. even though i know mon/wed/fri is the more typical split for a lot of guys.

If you doing multiple benches a week then one of the days should be a little lighter to help with recovery. That is why I will do my heavy reps one day and the next one pause/ comp bench since the weight will be lighter. Only other way would be like you said and try to get about 72 hrs in between.

Got my time off approved to do the meet so hopefully everything works out now and can get the totals I want. Thinking about doing high bar/ medium stance squats on my light days. Always struggle with front squats so at least this way getting a different stimuli for my squats.

For me went heavy on RDL's and that type of squats since I wanted to get a base starting number to go off of. Deads were actually the only workouts I was able to complete this week with what I had scheduled. Took 70 mins for the lifting part of the workout which is not to bad. Once the weights get heavier the rests will be longer but by then will be dropping leg presses and push downs.

...I just honestly feel Front Squats are soooo underrated in terms of carryover to almost everything, not just Squats and Deads...they work my upper back like no other lift.

I've never seen that before either but it makes me wonder if that could be a good way to get someone who lacks the flexibility for the front rack position to slowly get closer and closer to being able to hold the bar in the clean position. Warsheeper might also have some good tips on flexibility for front rack.

surprised...I always thought it was a common way to exercise the lift while improving mobility.

that's a very good vatiation if you can't hold the bar conventionally, only have to watch out that you don't try to extend your elbow instead of driving it up

Seems ever since I started overnights and taking sleeping pills I have zero explosion in any of my reps no matter the weight, everything just moves slow. I tried a few weeks back not taking them but was only getting around 5 hours of sleep in the morning so needless to say back on them. Just seems strange that every since then all my reps move slow, which is probably costing me some weight off the bar. Also tried fronts again and it just destroys my wrists so that is it again for my front squat attempt. Sure lots of big lifters built strong lifts without them and think adding in a different type of squat should help either way.

Figured if I am improving in both those then my deads/ squats should me improving too. Still haven't signed up yet for the meet but probably should soon. Just like to wait and see a little longer in case I get injured or everything just falls apart. Will be $115 to do the meet and $65 to sign up for the federation so don't want to be out almost $200 if something goes wrong. Next week need to start using my heavy wraps probably do get use to them and learn how to wrap them again. Been over 2 years since I used them so will probably take a few times to get the wrap right.

Deads were a tad harder than I would like but think it was an off day a little since squats were not to good either. I am getting stronger at RDL's so that is a plus and hopefully will have a good carry over for deads. Meet is starting to fill up and there is only 13 spots left out of 60 for the Saturday part of the meet. Saturday is women and men 165lbs and under. Should probably sign up in the next couple of days before there is no more Saturday spots and that would mean I would have to do Sunday at 181lbs and that is not a possibility.
Deads;
3 sets 3 reps 225lbs, 250lbs, 275lbs

I wish I had asked you about that before I got mine, but one of the guys at the gym gave me his inzer buckle type for half price (still new) because he just upgraded to a lever. I really wanted a leaver but wasn't sure if I trusted it 100%.
do you run 3" or 4" I have a 3" and I'm curious to see what deads feel like with it.

have the SBD lever belt, took a few sessions to get used to it because it's really thick and stiff as hell but you can easily change how tight you want the belt(i want more tightness with squats than with deads for example) with some other lever belts you have to screw the lever system off and then back on a different hole, only downside it's very pricey but was lucky to get it for the retail price

Looked online and only 11 spots left so went ahead and signed up for the meet, no backing out now. Just hope deads come along like I am hoping and can at least hit 450lbs. Really want a clean sweep of all the state records and deads is the only one in doubt. Squats/ Bench/ Total should be mine for the taking since I beat them with no problem about 4 weeks ago.

I thought all Inzer power belts were 4 inches?
