Sean's Powerlifting Journey

Heavy ass SLDL man. And squats...but thats per usual. About the depth - im not gonna be much help there. Maybe try to descend a bit harder but i know thats not how you squat (i remember your eccentric battle with your WR), so I don't think thats your answer either.
 
Just sucks going into it without confidence. Usually I'm cutting them high but can always get my first attempt to depth in training. Just having trouble this time around. Maybe it'll be better when the bruising leaves my knees and I can handle a bit more pain to push through
 
I mean, you've come this far and you don't have a real weight cut ahead of you so you might as well show up to rumble right?

Just up the dose
 
+1 for calzones. 80% of my excessive gain was American-Italian food related.
 
You're alright, Sean. These struggles you're having now will be technical reinforcement on meet day. Sucks to struggle but it's nice to know what you have to focus on come meet day.
 
I wouldn't worry about it too much. You wouldn't be the first person to struggle at this point and then blow it out of the water at the meet. Hell, it's a running joke with one of the dudes in the crew that his squat isn't right unless it looks like **** a month out.
 
I appreciate it guys. Hopefully I can make depth next week to put my mind at ease.

Insomnia and fatigue has officially set in. Mission accomplished? Melatonin, blue growth, and moonshine here on out.

Trying to unfuk my shoulders/back and get a feel-good-pump on now.

Those 5 meat calzones were legit...

Moved great. You've had a great block of pulling dude.
 
Smooth man.
 
Thanks, a lot guys. Last two sets with 505 grooved nicely.

My 555 will move much better on the platform I think. I had trouble getting set up and fatigue is present. That bar shifts easily on my crooked gym floor.

I'm going to open 245 if warmups feel good. If bad, then 225. May leave it as a first attempt if I'm grinding. If it moves, I'll go 265 for a second.

Boo bench
 
You're all fckin racked up. A week off to heal and 270 is probably your second.
 
finally. close enough for now

sucked it up and bought a pair of Inzer grippers. I remember them not needing to be broken in and that was true. they also felt similar to overkills in that it is thin, casts hard, but springs.

that being said, let me know if anyone wants to buy those iron rebel raptors lol

If that's called high, then the judges need their eyes checked.

Incline bench felt pretty good for the first time ever. When I start my hyper block again, I might run with that as a primary movement.
 
I feel like incline pressing actually builds my raw bench better than almost anything. I love floorpress and 3+4bd for the top end, but incline just helps everything. I hate it lol

I hate it too. My flat bench strength just doesnt carry over to incline. Its something ive been working on. But on flat bench i can rep 300 and can barely hit 225 for 1 on incline...
 
Yeah incline barbell always felt so fcked up for me so I could never do it but today was good, plus I didn't ego lift it today so that's a plus. Usually I slap on 185 thinking I can rep it 12 times then realize I can barely do it on flat bench.
