Bodywt 227 lbs. I'd like it to be 224 lbs by April 14th so I'll only need a small water cut for weighin on the 15th.
Bench, 1st rep paused @ 335 lbs-5,5,4,4 Third set I got out of grove and called it as I din't have spotter. 4th set I almost had 5th rep but got stuck a few inches up for an eternity before spotter grabbed it. I'm guessing I needed to eat more to recover from last bench session but I want to cut a tiny bit more first.
Sumo Deadlift. I wanted to get a little work in and also see where I'm at so I can gauge a good opener. @ 455 lbs-2; @ 475 lbs-3 PR RPE 9.5; @ 495 lbs-2 PR RPE 9.75 495 was a bit grindy but not completely terrible . Both Prs are very close to my conventional pr's, so I will open at either 485 or 495 lbs and go from there. Focusing on getting the weight set into my heels seems to help me keep the weight close and keep chest up.
Press @ 185 lbs-5,5,5 Rpe 9.5
