That's really cool. I'll be pulling for you, so to speak.

9/9/17

DeLoad (reps/sets)

Squat - 140kg x2
Paused Bench - 90kg x2
Deadlift - 185kg x2

Dips - bw 10x3
Goblet Squats - 28kg 10x3

One top set of each, just to remind myself what's coming over the next four weeks. This morning work is harder for me than afternoon sessions. I'm glad I made an early transition to morning sessions. Had I waited untill the last week or so, I wouldn't be acclimated to heavy, morning lifting come the meet.

Thanks.

I misstated my classification earlier. I'm a "Raw Master 3" in the 93's - not a "Master 3".

You know you're deadlift is getting up there when 185 kg is a deload!

Great squats! You're motivating me!

GFB #5-2 (reps/sets)

Bench (paused) - 90kg x1, 80kg 2x6
Close Grip Bench - 75kg 3x3

Incline Dumbbell Bench - 40lbs 8x4
Dumbbell Press - 40lbs 8x2, 35lbs 8x2
Dips - bw 12x4
Triceps Pulldowns - green band 15x4

Good single, done with commands. Things are a little bit different when commands are involved. Unlike the last meet, where 90kg was a titanic struggle, this went up without a hitch. The $64 question is where's the top - 95 / 97.5 / 100kg...

I'm betting it's at the higher end of those numbers, probably beyond!

GFB #5-3 (reps/sets)

Deadlift - 210kg x1, 177.5kg 2x4
Block Pulls - 190kg 4x4

Wide Grip Pull Downs / Pull Ups - 50kg/bw 8x3
RDLs - 120kg 8x3
Dumbbell Hi Pulls - 35lbs 8x3

Pulled the 210, but had an aborted 1st attempt at it...just re-set and pulled the damn thing. Lots of work today. I'm pooped.
Also, I realized at the end of the session that today (and this week) represents the first time I've totaled over 1,000lbs for my top set work EVER!

That makes me very happy indeed.
