I would like to crack over 600 without wraps at the meet. I think it is doable. If I hit around 610, that would probably be an all-time PR, since I get about 70#ish out of the wraps.
Bench- e1RM 415# *This is still way down due to shoulder issues. We are now going to move OHP into the secondary position and have two bench sessions per week (light/heavy). This 4 week cycle it is all floor press due to my shoulder. After that, we may do both normal bench and floor press or just normal benching 2x per week. My best bench (440 paused in meet or 465 tng at the gym) were both done when I was benching 2x per week. The extra volume should help if my shoulder can hack it.
DL- e1RM 662# *This seems to be on track. I usually pull less at a meet than I do in the gym, so if I can get my e1RM close to 700, maybe I can hit something like 670-680 at the meet. Anything over 660 would technically be a PR though, so I am happy with my progress thus far.
