Pause SQ 315x3x3
Leg Press 405x12x3
Hip Belt SQ 145x8,8,12 I love these but they take too long to set up. Think I will sub in a hamstring move here anyway.

Good coaching session with Karl Schudt last night. We worked on:
1. Squat – turning toes out further and actively pulling knees out, out of the bottom
2. Bench – methods for improving my missing arch, setting with my feet up on plates
3. Deadlift – turning toes out further, getting squoze(tm) before pulling, and pulling the slack out of the bar to reduce hitch off the ground
4. Press – grip with thumbs, improving forearm angle, correcting wrist angle, and improving whippiness of the hips in Press 2.0

I'm still not feeling fully recovered from my meet but got acceptable bench work in (245x3, 265x2, 245x4) not to feel like a skipped session.

For anyone in the Chicagoland area considering a coaching session, get in touch with Karl. He's a super friendly guy and knows his stuff. His rates are very reasonable and include a frosty cold beverage.

BP 205x5, 225x5, 235x5 These felt okay. Shoulder was a little grindy but I felt strong. Liked the new setup tweaks: feet on plates, foam rolling low back to open up arch, wearing belt, whole set on one breath.
Pin Press 275x0, 265x1, 245x1 Think I was tired but these were kinda pathetic. Aiming for sets of 3.
Floor Press 225x3, 235x1,3, 245x1,3, 195x9 First time trying these and LOVED them. AMRAP last set.
Face Pulls 150x1,3, 160x1,3, 170x1,3, 135x13 Never tried these heavy/low-rep before and liked it. AMRAP last set.
Rope Pushdown 205x2, 185x2, 175x2, 140x9 These were okay. Might try something different for triceps assistance. AMRAP last set.
