Bench
195x3 whoops
175 3x5
205 2x5 with slingshot

I'm going to try and LP back up to my raw 205 3x5 weight if my wrist complies. Tried out some 24" wrist wraps which I like a lot better than my 12" wraps

Squat
290 3x5 felt alright

Deadlift
340x4 was alright.

Workout took 30min and I was in a rush so went back to work drenched in sweat

Bench 180 3x5
SS 215x5@9, 205x5@8

Just popped in to catch up on your log. Pretty sure you've made some decent gains since I last checked so good job keep it going.

Is that a Titan or Rogue rack and how worth it were the mono lifts?

Thanks! Yea the squat and deadlift gains have been great. Bench has been a struggle trying to keep my wrist healthy since I tend to get carpal tunnel from work.

The rack is a rep fitness short rack (similar to Titan T2). I wish I would’ve spent more money on a titan t3 up front but didn’t know I’d stick with training. It’s a bit too short for me at 5’10” but I make it work. The monolift is the titan bolt on monolift. I bought extra hardware to work with the 2x2” steel rather than the 2x3”. I love it because it saves my shoulders and allows me to stay tight since I workout without a someone to provide a liftoff.

Busy day. Felt weak but still hit the gym

Total BS session. Just wasn't in it.

CGB
145x6
150x6
160x6@7
160x6@7

Should have worked up to an @9 but I think I under called the 160x6@7...

Squat

355@7
375@wtf on my toes 9
Maybe smaller jumps next time
365x1 and just felt like the 375 took my energy from me

Deadlift beltless paused DL
225 3x5

My back has been bothering me at work all day which is strange because I've felt so good recently. Good news is the back feels better after this. I guess I like the volume deadlifts.
