When you gonna pull 700lbs?
Realistically, probably the meet. Not sure what I'm doing yet next week for deads. Most likely hit a double around 670-680 and then some more reverse band work. Really depends on how squats go earlier in the week.

That's what I'm shooting for, too. A few months from now. The road from 600lbs to 700lbs took longer than expected.
Just started to read your log, it is very well detailed. I will follow along. When in your next meet?
Worst meet performance of my life. I really don't even want to get into it. But I did terrible. Not sure exactly what happened. This was the best training cycle I've ever had. Just didn't perform when it counted. Didn't PR a single lift. I have a few reasons that may have all culminated to my lack of strength day of. But they are neither here or there.
Tentative plan is to not actually compete until next year at this same meet. I want redemption. Badly. Going to go into a bulk mode. I've been trying to maintain between 230-240 for the last couple years. I think it's time I enter into the 260s. And played around with some wraps.
Have the next 5 weeks planned out. All lighter percentage hypertrophy work. Reworking technique on all 3 lifts. Will be putting on oly shoes again, widening my grip out on bench(tried it a few times the last several weeks in warm ups and it felt great. It was too close to a meet to make that comp style). Then will be headed into some sheiko style training for the remainder of the year.
That sucks. Where do you think things went wrong? Nutrition or rest?
Hate that about the meet. But we all know, sometimes no matter how much you do right, it just isn't your day.
The difference between the committed and the normal people is that they know it's just a fluke and they push forward regardless.
Sorry to hear about the meet, but it happens to us all. Take what you learned and use it to get stronger. I completely understand though I have had meets like that and you just end the day feeling like shit and it is a long wait to redeem yourself. Focus on training and next time watch your numbers blow up.
Good to see you aroundIt's been a minute....
Been back lifting for around 4 weeks now. First couple weeks were just greasing the groove. Doing SBD 3 times a week gradually increasing load. The last couple were just going by feel. Highlights were 405 beltless Good Morning x 3. Deads, 545 3x4 after a couple sets at 525. bench 300x2x10
That being said, I'm experiencing some major hip shift during squats. I noticed it at the end of prep for the last meet, but I was a little late to change training up and try to correct. Revamping squats completely. I've been playing around with a wider stance(foot width outside of shoulders). It feels smooth and I can stay tighter in the hole. In a couple weeks I'm going to start working with a PT that is also a PL and works with a ton of competitive PL's.
I dropped my weight down to 228 and since I started lifting again I'm back up to 240 with ease. Still have alot of calories I can shove down to keep that number increasing. Trying to push to 260 by beginning of summer.
