4x8 paused bench @ 250lbs
4x15 pullups
4x12 seated cable rows

Ended up not throwing on the wraps today like I originally planned. Looks like sleeves might be more popular at this next meet so I'll probably just compete in sleeves.

Definitely easier to deal with if you don’t have a handler.

For sure. I love how for me they seem to add a good 75ish pounds, but they are such a pain in the ass it takes the fun away.

3x3 paused bench @ 295lbs
4x8 squats @ 345lbs

Elbows were starting to flare up so I decided to skip triceps tonight. Think it is from the heavy squats yesterday. I'll try and hit them tomorrow if they feel better. I'm pretty sure the only reason they got sore was a simple form issue I noticed today which I'm also guessing is why my upper back looked kind of loose.

Tomorrow will be three days in a row. Lol. Considering I don't particularly like squats it's not very fun but it seems to make it really easy to make gains, so oh well.

Workout was,

1x3 deadlift @ 585lbs
3x3 deadlifts @ 525lbs
4x15 pullups

Deadlifts went up pretty easy. I took a video, but it has my face in it so I probably won't publicly post it unless I can figure out the video editor to cover it. Lol. All in all, pretty happy though. I'm definitely feeling the fatigue build up so for the reps to still move at the rpe 7-8 like they were supposed to made me pretty happy.

 

[Brandaddy]

Let me know what RPE you think this looks like. I would say 7ish?

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I'd say 7ish as well, anything less is kinda hard to judge.

 

[Worf]

Definitely looking like you had a few more in the tank
