Dec 9, 2014
Deadlift @ 425 lbs-1. Just didn't feel committed so decided to mess around with form on deadlift.
Deadlift @ 405 lbs-1,1,1,2. Tried different stance widths, belts and beltless. I think a wider stance with arms squeezed tight around legs and 2 1/2 inch belt seemed to feel best.
Pin press @ 275 lbs- 3,3,3,3. Top set too easy so did repeats. RPE 9

I was planning on a redo of last week but decided just to go forward. I'm going to try to keep weight increases pretty small and try to keep volume up as I seem to make pretty good progress around 15 reps of work weight.

Press @ 175 lbs-5 RPE 9.5 I'm not sure that it was the tough but I was doing it on one breath and was getting very lightheaded by the end.
Press @ 157 lbs-5,5,5 RPE 9.5 Same issue with lightheadness. On 2nd set I made sure to get in a breath mid set and it was much better.

I missed Friday's session and the holidays are likely going to screw up a few other sessions so I am likely going to only do 9 sessions over next 3 weeks.

Close Grip bench @ 285 lbs-5 RPE 9
Close grip bench @ 265 lbs-5,5 RPE 9
Snatch grip SLDL @ 295 lbs-5 RPE 9.5 Tough as my double overhand hookless grip was giving out. I don't see how I could do mixed grip and my fingers are too short for hook grip.
Snatch grip SLDL @ 265 lbs-5,5 RPE 9.5 Grip still an issue.
