For the 1st time in ages, I got to lift while an experienced powerlifter (a lifter I know) coached and provided feedback during the set. He wasn't lifting, either, so I got more of his full attention. He's a strong guy, benching in the mid 300's, squatting in the mid/upper 400's, and deadlifting in the upper 500's at about 185bw.
Foam roll/smr/movement prep/etc
Squat - belted for 245 and beyond.
45x5x2, 135x5, 205x3, 245x2, 285x1
330x5x3
Jorge's feedback was that my squats are good - better than I thought. As I felt, he said need to do better in pushing my kees OUT at the bottom, which should automatically help them from not sliding forward at the bottom. Good sets.
BB Press - going easy since I’ll be starting texas method pressing next week on Monday. So just warmed up and then did four doubles:
175, 175, 175, 185 - all easy as they should be. I finished at 192.5x5,5,4 on my LP, so these were easy doubles, but heavy enough to maintain training.
BB Deadlift - first belted DLs
Warmup-185x4, 275x2, 345x1, 395x1
Work set: 450x3 - smooth and easy
Back off set: 405x3 - easy
1/4 milers - 4 @ 8.0-9.0
1/8 miler - 1 finisher @ 10.5
