@Iron_Miss_Canada That 80kg was smooth as silk! Lovely lift!
@nakedraygun Bench is looking good mate. Glad you went back to your old form again?
@Jefffit70 - Some great lifts there mate. You make that squat look easy!
@_incogNEATo_ bummer about missing that rerack command - you slayed that lift!
Some great stuff in the last two pages. Hope it keeps on coming! This thread should never be allowed to die...

This week finally marks the point where I can stash that #rehab bullsh!t and genuinely claim a PR that is a PR both pre, during and post-injury:
It's not in the league of the overhead numbers that some guys have put up earlier in the thread, but this was a long-time goal/landmark for me that had to be postponed a long time, so eff it:
A 75kg/165lb Push Press (@70Kg/154lb bodyweight)
Forgive the 70's Euro-porn music in the background and my obscene grunting....0 -

I happened to have REALLY enjoyed the grunting along with the music. Great lift and glad you're able to continue setting PRs post-injury.
Also, thanks to @nakedraygun, @jimmmer, @ovidnine, and @JeffFit70 for the compliments!0 -
Nicely done @jimmmer ! I don't belt up pressing, do you find that it helps you press more, or is it more of confidence/safety thing with your back?This week finally marks the point where I can stash that #rehab bullsh!t and genuinely claim a PR that is a PR both pre, during and post-injury:

Absolutely. My confidence is high. Looking for a 315b/143kg paused this year.. hopefully before the end of June. (It would be a 10+ platform PR.)@nakedraygun Bench is looking good mate. Glad you went back to your old form again?0 -
Arg, I'll throw this up - from Saturday.
I was -2 reps off goal, but coming off a two month taper and two meets, I guess I should be happy. Prior to this time period I had pulled 440 for 5 reps. in my last deadlift session leading up to.

Color me: impressed! Nice pulls, Matt! I've noticed wrist wraps when you pull. Explain, please! I've never tried it.0 -

I like how you reset each time. It makes it so much more consistent!

Hate I didn't jump more for my final attempt on DL because this came up pretty easy. This is 490lbs (222.5kg)
This was a failed lift because I racked immediately after the lift. Third attempt, 484lbs (220kg)
Learned a lot this weekend. Had a lot of fun. Left some pounds on the floor, but that's okay. I'll be back.
ETA: I just realized the same song was playing for both lifts. Cool, I guess.
great job!0 -

The wrist straps? Mostly because I like the support around my wrist and the compression. I don't tighten the crap out of them like some product instructional advise you too, because I like a little flexion in my wrists.
I've worn sweatbands like this about forever in the gym....
But made the switch as the weight went up for more support.
Wrist wraps are supposed to aid in your grip, but I've not known this to be the case.

This was why I asked. I've noticed, for bench press anyways, that the wrist straps actually loosen ability to grip as tightly after a few seconds of wearing them. I've never tried loosening them for deadlifts, but that compression probably would be beneficial. May give it a try, thanks.
@LolBroScience Thanks man!0 -

Quick update about my meet that I had on Saturday.
I competed in the USPA Western Warrior Powerlifting Challenge in Glendale, Arizona. I went 7 for 9 and ended with a 755 total at 148.2 bodyweight, with a 281.1 squat, 126.7 bench press and 347.1 deadlift for a 350.51 Wilks. This is not the meet I wanted, but I did tie my last meet's total in fewer attempts if that matters. Unfortunately, I weighed in .6lb lighter last meet so my Wilks from this meet went down by 1 point lol.
I technically qualified for both USPA Nationals and IPL World's, but I am on the low end of the skill level of people that would compete in those competitions so we will see if I decide to go to either of those. I am going to take at least a good six months or so before competing again to really try to raise my potential by continuing to work on bodybuilding for muscle development and overall technique on each of my lifts.
I still want that 300lb squat and 350lb+ deadlift in competition this year.

Thanks Matt!
Yep, prior to buggering myself up I only ever chucked on a belt on a squat topset, sometimes not even then. Never even wore one for DLs or other lifts.
Nowadays, anything over 85-90% for squats/deads gets the belt treatment. I don't wear one for bench cause it messes with my set up and I don't get anything out of one, and I'll only wear one overhead for something that's a new 1RM/PR.
I found good glute activation coupled with good core activation key for getting back to lifting properly while rehabbing. I found the belt really useful for that. And now I'm used to it, it's almost like putting on a piece of armour before battle... stupid as that sounds!
