Here Comes Hercules.

Heavy Day:

Squat: 240 x 2 x 0; 216 x 3 x 2
Bench: 148.5 x 5; 133 x 5 x 2
Dead: 342.5 x 2 x 0

[carson]

I seem to be running into limits on all of my lifts. That's probably to be expected. Squat: I keep bumping into 240s by multiples and winding up doing 2 + 1 or 2 + 0. I think it's mostly technique since I find whenever I fail it's because the bar goes forward. I'm not staying on my heals enough.
Dead: I can hardly believe it but despite what I can do in competition I keep running into 340s x 2 + 1 or + 0 or 360 x 0. I think despite concentrating on form I find that too often I straighten my knees before getting the bar off the floor.
Bench: I get stuck at 181 x 1 but have failed twice to advance. Sometimes I go down too fast.
Press: Sully says I must fall in love with the lift. I even kiss and caress the bar but get stuck at 118 and can't do multiples.

I guess I must concentrate harder.

[Mr. Bingley]

I think the fire of competition gets you that extra 40lbs carson, hard to replicate in a normal workout

[carson]

I think you are correct.

[carson]

Hard. Fairly good.

Squat: 70 x 5; 120 x 5; 160 x 3; 210 x 1; 241 x 3; 217 x 3 x 2
Press: 45 x 5; 70 x 3; 100 x 1; 109 x 3; 87.5 x 5 x 2
Dead: 135 x 3; 225 x 2; 315 x 1; 342.5 x 3 (New PR)

I took too many breaths between 2 and 3 and nearly failed. The goal is 5 lifts in 30 seconds or less. Ones brain must overcome ones body in order to complete multiple heavy lifts.

It looks like you haven't hit your limit on deadlifts yet.

[carson]

Makes me happy. My goals at least for now for DL: 405 x 1; 375 x 3; 350 x 5. I think they are doable. I'm shooting for next spring for those. Then we will see.

[Mr. Bingley]

carson, you continue to advance and impress
