In powerlifting, the three main lifts are the entire sport. They must be of the utmost priority. In a perfect world, we have the time and energy to train main and assistance hard and long. But sometimes choices have to be made and this choice is clear.
If you want to get more assistance in...
I'm gonna put this on you since I read the article, Sean. Nuckols hit 585 breathing paused and squatted 750. You know what you have to do. 590 and 755. Those things will make you, by default, smarter and better looking than Nuckols.
Good stuff buddy. What were your specific grips on your speedy sets? I used to do thumb from smooth, just inside rings, and ring on rings. Now I do pointer on smooth, thumb from smooth and pinkie on ring from seeing a Louie vid on speed work.
I have a pair that might work for you. Rodja knows the very pair. I just have to remember who I lent them to... lol. They might fit you, we'll have to see. I can get into them at 234-ish and I'm only 5'9".
Inzer has groove briefs for $20 but never buy old school gear. I bought old school gear...
I'll say this, I thought my ankles were pretty good until I started running again. They have no stability anymore. I'm looking forward to hips and ankles opening up, that will be a blessing.

Overreaching is PLANNED and is something usually done over a period of one training cycle and it is planned during a peak to create, after a subsequent period of lowered volume and increased intensity, a supercompensation response on competition day. The fact that slightly excessive volume is...
You guys have no idea how awesome they are! My hips feel better after a balls out max effort day in briefs out wide than they do on a moderate day in a moderate stance without them. And for sumo deadlifts, it's night and day.
Nice work yesterday! Videos all looked sharp. I really like how your deadlift is looking now. I saw your shoulders kind of lose their wedge under the bar on your second rep of your top set on bench, but you immediately corrected it on rep #3. I think you're in a great place technique wise...
Honestly, you know my pec history and that I will not take even a moderately heavy weight with a wide or even moderate grip on bench without support present. But the light, super high rep sets with a wide grip have done wonders for me.
Also forgot the detail about these being main moves. Wide...

What Kleen said. The only number you are really married to in a supplemental movement is 60%. Get up above that for 3-5 sets of 8-12 focused on a weak point and profit.
What's your best squat with a belt again?
I'd switch out that CG 2 board for some wide stuff (either chest or 1 board depending on how that grip treats you). You know you're gonna mash anything above a 2, so address your weakness
