    Tapering week, got a meet on saturday. Kept the volume slightly higher than usual to see if I can comeback to training faster.

    GPA/IPO state meet

    Squat: raw + wraps, monolift and squat bar
    Bench: as usual
    Deadlift: deadlift bar

    Weight-in: 197.1

    Squat
    420
    440
    468 Meet and all-time PR

    Bench
    275
    287
    297 nope.

    Deadlift
    460
    496
    518 nope.

    Total: 1251

    I'll blame my pec strain for the bench and being very tired at the end of the meet for the deadlift. I'm thinking about doing Rip's thing on the deadlift on my next meet: PR on the second attempt and most likely wave the third.

    So, I trained beltless and with short rest intervals this last week, and stoped taking creatine. Next week I'll resume training normally, improve my supplementation, and try to gain some 5-10 lb before cutting back to 198 for my next meet in 13 weeks.

    Good news is that I train and work at commercial gym that is more on the "black iron gym" side, and they built a power rack following (closely) my specifications. I'll be able to do all sorts of power rack shenanigans from now on.

    Tried pin bench presses today, it was way harder than I expected. Let's see what getting good at this exercise does for my regular bench.

    Not the halting deadlift PR I wanted, but I still managed two more reps than last time, and can't complain about this week's training.

    That was a pretty decent week overall. I got a mild food poisoning on sunday and was not at my best for monday's workout, 455x3 is still kind of a PR, but the goal was 5. Nineteen reps on chin-ups is also a PR, at least at this bodyweight (might have done more when I weighted around 130, but who cares...). Nice bench PR on friday as well, but I a lost a bet to a trainee of mine and now I owe him a beer, for he got to a 315 bench first...
