    Sean's Powerlifting Journey

    I enjoyed hitting something challenging 2 weeks out from my meet. IIRC I hit a double PR on my squat, bench, and deadlift before my meet. I'm not saying hit PRs and go for broke but maybe something down that line.

    That looks pretty sweet. Definitely going in my bookmarks. The plan seems very reasonable. I don't have anywhere flat easily accessible to me before work, though. I'll have to look for an area so I can give this a shot.

    Nice pulling, my dude. I'm definitely a fan of your thinking regarding solidifying the feel of 600. If it wasn't for my brown skin, my Aztec nose, and my black, curly hair, I would almost think you might be my father. LOL Anyways, tomorrow is the day for me when I return to deadlifting! This...

    I did hill sprints yesterday. 8 up the hill at ~92-95% effort, hard to apply more due to not being able to grip the first half of the hill well with my shoes. You get this preexhaustion effect going up the first like 20' of the hill, then during the less inclined portion of the hill you sprint...

    The one thing I have to add besides the "it was only 1 bad day" is you've also done a whole lot of TnG deadlifts, haven't you? Perhaps by eliminating the pause your starting strength hasn't developed or sustained as properly as it may have with resets?

    No, I just let my arm hang from my shoulder.

    Doing it weighted might actually help. I had a really hard time doing them when I first started, too. I began with 1 dumbbell for loading and for balance (1 dumbbell as opposed to two might be easier for balance), and after I worked up to about 65lbs I started using DBs for both hands and moved...

    May be something to work on after the meet. Is this just stagnation, or are there extrinsic factors influencing this, like job stress, at home stress, etc?

    Probably exhaustion. Also probably a sign you pushed yourself properly, though I think your SGDL was evidence enough already.

    At 300lbs, I bet you $100 you could easily cut 12lbs of water before your meet if you really wanted to without much pain. I wouldn't worry. Besides, I regularly shít more than the deficit you need to stay in the 308s.

    Nice work, Sean. BSS weights are per hand, I imagine?
