4/17 - Friday
9 days out from the meet.. I wanted to continue to work on my form, increase weight and get a final bit of volume in on my squat and bench.
Squat: 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 275x3, 315x2, 365x1, 405x1, 455x1, 485x1, 500x1, back off sets 405x3, 315x5
Minimal knee pain only on 455, I forgot to cue myself to stay back on the way up. My focus wasn't there as it was a warm up. Regardless, this is great news; 3 weeks ago my knee was hurting so bad that considered dropping out of the meet.
Bench: 95x10, 135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 275x1, 295x1, 305x1
The with the slingshot on: 305x5
At this point I was late for picking up my son, so I left. When I got home a shit ton of push-ups as I wanted more pressing volume. 100+, the last 50 with the slingshot on and my son on my back.
Feeling pretty good heading into my final week. Just a few more things to work on.
