5 weeks out. Everything is finally coming together. Squats are feeling decent, deadlift is already past PR territory, and now bench if feeling back to 100%

You’re 2” below depth on that squat. Cut that sucker a little higher,lol

Haha. I'm used to squatting in front of a mirror. I was happy I got it a little deep instead of high. Still not sure 600 in wraps will be there at this next meet unless I let myself get up to 210 and compete at 198.

What do you estimate your raw squat at? 540? Look into some better wraps. Pioneers or Lillibridge, some kraits or patriots. I know the slingshots aren’t bad but I got at least 40 lb from the Lillibridge wraps that pioneer makes.

Probably a bit gracious. Maybe 520-530, I usually get about 50-70lbs out of these wraps. Could just be my squat style, I have a lot of knee movement, I guess that would probably get more benefit from the wrap? Lol

If you get that much from them there’s no need to change wraps. I’ve found I get more from the wraps if I push into them. Helps wearing a heeled shoe, forces the knee travel for me. When I used flats to squat and wore wraps I don’t get as much from the wrap, I end up sitting back more and mainly use posterior chain

Yeah, I've always been a more upright quad dominant squatter. I just feel a lot more explosive out of the hole and my elbows like high bar more. Lol. People always give me shit for squatting high bar instead of low bar. But I guess as long as I'm making gains, whatever. Lol. I actually just tried heels the last few months. The low weights feel good, but I find my feet flatten out causing knee valgus on the heavier weights.

Bet that squat you did the other day did just that. Heal up fast brother

Ha. Yeah, then the heavy deads the next day didn't help. Felt pretty jacked up yesterday. Already feels 90% now though with only one day off. So shouldn't be anything that'll stop me from hitting big squats next week.
Nice, just don't injure yourself for real though!
