i still think you should enter a PL comp. don't even try to really max, just do it one day instead of regular training. would be really interesting to see how much you can DL with no practice but a big squat and lots of back work.

if he does one, he should just do one event (squat, obviously, lol).

I really love "raw PL" (absolutely nothing, no belt, no wraps etc).

LBSS, check the 198 lb weight class squat record in California:

Kingfish, how's your sister's marathoning/running going?

sister still running like forrest jump.

480lb at 198... interesting. there was a time not long ago that i did the 2nd 455 for the day and felt like i could have done 475 instead. i'm pretty good in guessing my near max weight for the day.

* i did not physically tire myself at work this week as i'm mostly on the documentation side of work. mostly seating town. i still needed 3 workouts just to get back to the 455. i was off on sat morning. got good sleep on sat day. sat afternoon, sunday am and pm were still "post work" weak.
* its not the muscle. IMO, the mental energy to tense the muscle is the difference here. if i'm well recovered on sleep, i can put more energy in keeping my legs as one solid unit and it always make me feel thicker.

* feeling stronger after good sleep. not as strong as last sunday but i should be good by monday afternoon. the bw pullups few days ago did some damage to my back. gym had new cable station and i wanted to try the climbers grips. felt good at the time.

Mon Sept 17

morning

Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x1 sets (10s)

* was strong enough for a 435 but it will be a heavy lift.  skipped everything and wait til i'm stronger later.  adding volumes and intensity slowly to my lateral rowing. i did 75lb 10 reps before and it wrecked my rhomboids in a good way but was a very irritating soreness. il build up to it slowly so there is no peak soreness right away.

afternoon

Shoulders smith machine inclined press 185 20x1 (5-10-5) sets | bw dips 20x2 sets (10s)

Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x2 sets (10s)

* was stronger but was not as explosive on the 405 as i wanted. 435 went up without a big fight but it was a good call. a 455 would have added too much fatigue. will get it tmrw afternoon.

Calves seated calf raise soleus  4x45lb 20x2 sets (10s)

* looking good this morning already. still deciding if i want to beef up my shoulders by going heavier on the seated press or going weighted dips. favoring weighted dips. if i get strained from that, its on the elbows and those don't affect the squats.

* not very happy with the explosiveness of the 405. it felt the same this morning. i took more rests on the shoulder pressing. should be good to go tmrw otherwise, consistent 435s is not a bad thing too.
