Really nice work at the meet, man. Congratulations on the improvement and breaking 1500.
How did the deads feel? What do you think happened with them?

Hey Nicky Ray,
Thanks, it's always fun to look back and see how much I improved. For example, at this meet last year I was pinned under a 315 bench for 3rd attempt!
I think low back fatigue from the squats is what killed my deads. With the way 585 flew up I thought I had 635 in the bag. But my low back got loose on both attempts and the pull was inefficient.
Also, if I had locked out a more moderate weight, like 615, I would have lost by a few wilks. Thought better to go straight for a 635 win, than spend energy on a 615.

Friday 11/15/19
Squat 495, 525
Paused Press 225, 230, 205x3x2
Halting DL 405x8
Didn't use a belt on the haltings, my 4" was digging in. Immediately ordered a 3" double ply dominion starting strength belt when I got home. That should be here by sunday.
Actually going to start doing the alternating haltings/rack pull from here out. Might take a couple weeks to find good weights to do these at, gonna titrate up.
Still fatigued from the meet, but I'm seeing that about a week of light training is recommended. Maybe I should have taken it easier, who knows.
I should be fine by Monday. I'll start next week with some heavy (but manageable) triples for intensity workouts.

Jumping right back into squat vol is very hard.
Having trouble with light headedness after a pin press, so I tried seated press.
