435 was probably approaching an 8; 425 might have been a 9, depending on your ability to push through tough reps. I think calling it there was probably the right move, though; I think my tendency to push through probably didn't serve me well when I ran this (putting aside the fact that your absolute load is also much higher, and thus even more stressful than anything I did). Depth looks good too.

Did you go full ISF on the guy walking around the side of the rack while you were doing your triple? **** like that infuriates me, mostly because it has the potential to be dangerous; if it's so vital you get that 10 pound plate from the tree on the rack, wait until I don't have weight on my back. I guess it's also annoying because I tend to hyperfocus on stuff like that and give people with weight unracked a pretty wide berth and/or wait until they're done to walk through their direct field of vision or around the sides of where they are. Meh.

Thanks for the feedback. I think 435 was a 7.5 and will prob do 440 next time. I threw a 10 lb plate at that guy after my set and hit him in the knee. Ok not really but should have. It bothers me a little but not to the same extent it seems to antagonize you.

After monte asked how I was doing these, I watched a mike T video on them and gave them a try that way instead of RDL style. Went all the way to the floor while keeping the hips high and did touch n go reps. It was actually easier this way. Prob wasn’t @9 with 365 but wrists were hurting from the straps.

Finished up with some cable rows and curls

Felt good today, bumped up the weight on my top set for both bench movements. Was supposed to do squat triples with wraps, but don’t have any so decided to try some overload work and did reverse band squats. They were pretty fun, kinda like slingshot but for squat.

Went with a bigger drop off for the back off set since the top set was @10. Last time I did 425x3 I was @9, but I squatted before benching. 435 moved good but 395x3 felt hard, so wasn’t really sure what to do for the top set. Think I just need to adjust numbers when I’m doing an exercise first or last

Squats felt so much better today. Decided to just do competition squat and not reverse bands bc I didn’t want Monday’s crappy session being my last squat session before maxing. I did a good bit of foam rolling and stretching on my hips last night and today and watched some vids last night with cues that seemed to help today. Mostly pushing my back into the bar while also pushing me feet into the floor.

Awesome PRs; double at 295 for 2 count is super strong.

What day are you testing maxes?

I can't take this log seriously without bodyweight attached.

I benched 280 at 169, do you have a lower wilks at bench than I do? I hope not, that would be loltastic.

Bodyweight manipulation to set PRs needs to end. We start with this log.

My man montecore is aged 39 195 18% bodyfat. And he was recommended to bulk by several meatheads. Would his wilks increase, by gaining 20 pounds?

Lol. That's debatable and if it did increase, it would be peanuts unless he started training with more considerable volume.

Health and fitness are independent. Both pretty much ignored by this lifter.
