Wanted a clean top single with a solid pause so dropped down to 395, It went well and was clean. Had at least another 5 pounds in me.

Warm up sets went well today so I decided to go 402. Should have worn a skate on my left foot as it slipped twice. Was still able to lock it out with a pause. No signs of the pec issue this week so hopefully I'm done with it. Congestion seemed to be lifting a bit this afternoon. Meet is two weeks from tomorrow. Looking for a solid last week plus of training to set me up for a good effort.

Looks like its all coming together, lifts look solid, i think your gonna do great MP!!

Thank you my friend. We will be okay. Hopefully get a PR in at least one of the two lifts, if we're lucky maybe both.

Not yet - but soon... and I could never stay away from an mp log. I would need a carrier penguin to bring me updates if I were in the arctic.

I'm pretty sure the hot girlfriend in the hotel room will suffice to keep you away. I will text you if anything noteworthy happens.

paused bench 5x165, 4x215, 2x265, 1x315, 1x365, 1x407 PR, 2x2 365
db ohp 10x60, 70, 80
side laterals 3x10 35
rear delt raises 3x10 60
spread eagle sit ups 3x20 +25

Decided not to temp fate and skipped 406 in favor of 407. Legit pause and press was pretty smooth. 413 should be there meet day. Keeping my ass down will be the issue. Really clean on 403 yesterday, much closer to coming up today on 407.

 

[Mr.B66]

Looking like everything is coming together perfect for the big day MP, i know your gonna do great!!!!
Good luck and have fun!!

Congrats on the PR. Looked smooth both ways.

How you're able to unrack a max effort bench attempt is beyond all reality. Nice work, MP, you're going to do great at the meet!

Thanks my friend. It is all in what you get used to. Set up has to be several inches back towards the uprights in order to stay tight other than that not much difference.

410 wasn't as quick as 408.5 yesterday but moved evenly and wasn't a grind.

 

[Mr.B66]

Nice lift on the 408.5 looked smooth, so no surprise to me you hit 410, cause when i watched the video i thought to myself " he's got more".
You are ready brother!!!
