Today I had a crappy day at work and almost pussed out by not pulling from the floor, but decided to do anyway. I wad glad I did because 495 flew off the floor. Been having pain in my right thumb so grip will not be worked much rest of week.

Good stuff! I've been putting front squats back into my workouts. I think they're helping with my hip strength off the floor on my pulls.

I have also been doing sumo deads on my week that I do rack pulls on and hopefully this will help also.

Have not been posting lately as I had a meet Yesterday

Hastings Summer festival Bench Press and Deadlift.

Bench

135-8

225-3

275-1

315-1

315-1

Opener 370 felt OK but ragged.

Second 390 smoked

third 410 came off chest fast then a bit of a grind on the lockout.

Deadlift

135-5

225-3

315-1

405-1

Opener 455 felt ok.

Second 485 smoked

Third 510 a bit hard but OK

Fourth 535 would have been PR got air but not even close to knees.

This was a fun meet and it was free along with a free t shirt for entering. They ran the meet like meets used to be run when powerlifting first came out. No flights just the rising bar so Yu coul have possibly go 3 times in a row a bit tricky warming up

Got first in bench and totally smoked in deadlift placing third. No masters division.

There were 4 of us competing Steve, Steve and Rachael it was nice going to a meet with a team.

Here are my top lifts from yesterday.
