down a bit today to 205.00 on the scale. I think my happy safe place right now would be 198. something sub 200 seems more manageable without sacrificing too many calories/size for strength...
Congrats on that PR and if you are bouncing out of the bottom on the squat you will get a lot more out of a small pause rather than using the stored energy to spring you out of the bottom.

I’m going to vote on 180-185 as your opener. In a suit you will have a little more spring, in a comp you will as well. If you wrap your knees instead of sleeves that will give an extra 5% as well...
you never know, without knowing how many dudes are showing up in your weight class or what their experience level is... my first oly event I crushed an amazing opener on snatch and couldn't figure...
[emoji817] the right environment can definitely provide an extra level of being amped up!
I just wish I had someone objective there who could help me decide #s based on how my lift looks and how...
You might also find it surprising of what you can put up under pressure and with a crowd. Don’t know in a setting like that but at a public gym like going for a max effort and I would ask for a...
Ah, got it! Well, eff me I guess then, as I am assuming I will come in with some of the lightest sets, with fairly close weight attempts to one another. So theoretically, I could be up 3 back to...
these weights are making more sense to me compared to your bodyweight, its good to see you pushing heavier squats and I see no notes on injury/pain issues. I'm really excited/curious to watch...
Most of the time I think the standard is that an opener should be something you can do for 3 reps. Seeing this I would likely opt for 175ish, or plan to do the full jump from 165 to 195 and treat...

I don't have tons of recommendations, sounds like you have a decent plan on the 165, 185, 205 as a skeleton plan. If 165 flies, consider the 30lb jump, and if that flies you pick from there. If...
I love the thing. Can work deeper on bench due to the camber. Helps my wrist significantly with the more neutral grips. Not sure if it contributed a bit to this chest/coracobrachialis strain...

Good positive day today. Following up on the heavy dead’s Friday, high output on squats Monday. Still fighting the chest strain so I skipped the Monday/Tuesday chest and added some back into...
Well gang, probably no surprise to most of you, but the wife pulled it off! A true ATWR in the Circus DB Press, for Masters Lightweight Women (40+ age, under 73kg/160lb bodyweight). They weighed...
