bench 270, 286, 303
DL 506, 535, then whatever i feel like i can do. hopefully like 560 or so
I was thinking about squatting just about like that. I had 419 441 463 on my Excel sheet that I made several weeks ago, but will probably go 2.5 - 5 KGs lighter on the opener. You plan looks fine. Adjust 2nd or 3rd rep as necessary depending how the preceding one feels.
bench - idk, I suck at benching in meets. I'm planning 314 325 336 fwiw. I dont suggest you do this, and you and/or others might try to talk me out of this, but I think I'm going to warm up with ~315 before I do my opener. I'm going to do that because I tend to feel stronger & more ready for a heavy bench after doing something like that that's pretty heavy. Typically in the past, I've felt like the opening weight was harder than it should have been because I felt like I hadnt done anything challenging enough in warm ups. Maybe its my old muscles; maybe I'm nuts; whatever. I'm sure another single with ~315 isnt going to tire me out like another opening DL or squat rep might. I'm going to do it, but I'm not going to suggest you do it.
Your DL seems good. I was going to do 496 or 502, 540, 573.
Tell me what you think of my squat & DL plans.
520x2 - very nice
