lol. for a 1-rep max. it looked like the kind of deadbug a guy would do if he was the kind of guy who thinks deadbugs are only for girls.
you made your dl look so easy, it was a pleasure to watch. congrats.

I get to have my first formal deadlift training session since my last meet way back in May tomorrow morning. It's been like 7 long months. How in the hell did that happen?
To state that I am ebullient at the prospect, is to understate how I really feel.6 -
Non-Weight related PR today. I decided to try out box jumps for the first time ever, and was able to work up to 48".
Once I learn proper technique, I'll probably be able to add more relatively quickly.

Deadlifts today. Worked up to an AMRAP set of 375x9, exceeding rep by 1. I blazed through the sets, forgot to record them. Next up, joker set of 395x5.
Then here, 405x3 and a surprise double if 435 with more in the tank.
I took about 50-60 pounds off my 1RM of about 525 lbs. Feeling strong and confident!6 -
^^^sounds like you healed up nicely and are ready to make some gainz!1

On Friday was our Ontario Provincial Championships. I'm almost 52 so compete as an M2 lifter.
I was very happy with the meet results. I decided not to cut to 57kg and weighed in at 58.8. The only thing that felt unusually strong going into the meet was squats and I ended up with a 5.5kg PR and an M2 national record.
Bench was bench and I was happy enough given the issues with my shoulder since last May.
I wasn't certain at all about deadlifts. It's my strongest lift and I pulled up to my opener a few weeks out and it felt just okay at the time. However, the meet bar has a lot more flex in it than our texas PL bar and I often end up doing better.
Squat
102.5kg good
107.5 kg good
110.5kg National record and 5.5kg meet PR
Bench Press
50kg - good
52.5kg good
55 kg called on technicality
Deadlift
135kg good
142.5kg good
147.5kg good 2.5kg meet PR
Total 310.5kg
Wilks 351.64
Not my best wilks but not my worst either. I thought it would be lower given the weight gain but it was right around where it typically sits. PRs get harder and harder to come by after you've been competing for years and as you age. I'm very happy to take any I get.

There is some amazing lifting that has gone on and is going on. I just watched K Branton bench 600 and squat 904 like a warm up. Our Provincial membership is up over 1,100 and the quality of the lifting reflects it. I reffed yesterday afternoon and was there early enough to catch the open women deadlifts. I watched a 63 woman pull 180. She didn't get the lift on a technicality but the fight was incredible. She got it up and locked it out.0 -

I watched Kelly squat live on facebook. His skill level when it comes to squats is insane. I was talkin with Mike about what happened on his third squat in Killeen that was scary.
The results that I've seen from powersurge are insane as well. Nationals is shaping up to be deep and tough for pretty much every weight class. Quebec results should be awesome as well.

Isn't it the highest total ever by a Canadian raw or equipped?0 -
Well I've worked up to 190lbs on my pin press bench. I know it's weak compared to a lot of you all, but I'm looking forward to see if this helps build some strength in my weakest (relative) lift. This was the first of 5 sets...ended up with only 4 reps on the 5th set, but I also felt pretty weak overall this morning. Try again on Friday.

That's right. Apparently they gave him the bar at the end of the meet.0 -

I've seen great carryover from pin press and floor press. I only do one or the other once every two to three weeks. It definitely helps with those sticking points, though. Especially pin press.0 -
Some bench press from this morning. Stoked is an understatement really. I'm super happy with my bench progression over the past 8 weeks.

Slight shift in conversation- Other than complete and utter tricep burn out (which is REALLY good for me- as I have a hard time doing traditional tricep work with bad elbows)- I haven't had any good reason to do floor press- I hate it.
Tell me I'm not alone here.1 -

My bench press is very tricep-centric, which is why it's so beneficial to me. I get it though, and I don't think you'd be alone at all.0 -
I know they *should* be really firing the triceps- and for me it is a weak spot- but because they are so weak and doing the extra work is really tricky- I have found ways to bench without- so it's definitely good- but floor pressing means I cannot stack my shoulders under me well- and it just seems so inefficient and painful. I continue to rotate them out every other week- so one week floor press- one week flat press- then floor- then flat- but- UGHHHHHHHHHHHH whiney crying pants- do.not.like.1
