Press - 225-fail

Chins +45lbs - 4,3 wimped right out at the end.

Last Friday's deadlift workout sucked. Couldn't budge 500. Whatever I'm doing its not working...

Today - Did a pre-meet check today. Probably my last heavy deadlift prior to competition.

Squat - 465-1, Worked up to a new PR. Bit of a grind but got it up.



Comp Bench - 315-1, 340 - fail, 315 felt light, 340 almost went.

Deadlift - 500 - fail, 465- 2, Just didn't have it in me to move the 500. 465 felt easy and I probably could have done another 2 or three. I seem to be losing strength on this lift or lack the fortitude to pull as hard as I can. I'll have to change up my programming after the meet with some pause lifts and rack pulls.

I just completed two cycles of Jonny Candito's 6 week intermediate program. I seem to have gained maybe 25 pounds on my squat, and perhaps 5 on my bench. Deadlift seems to be losing. We'll see how it all turns out at the meet on the 14th.

How far out from the meet?
The pr squat looked to be a bit Grindr, that takes away from your deadlift. Something to consider with your selection strategy.
Congrats on the pr!

340 is looking like a real possibility for you at the meet!
