    Four weeks out, but currently have just over this 193kg/425lb penciled in for my 2nd attempt of squat.

    Good speed on that.
  • Even though this is still technically warmup weight, this is the best that 185/407 for 2x2 RPE 6 has ever moved. I love love love training with this equipment.



    I feel like I finally have low bar down. It was a md struggle, but well worth it.

    I did a local open meet on Saturday. After a sketchy start falling forward in the hole with my opening squat, I hit all my other attempts. It was the first time I squatted from a monolift and I think the straps kind of threw me off.

    I got a PR total of 305 at 55.2 bw. This is my final deadlift. I've gotten this before but at a higher bodyweight.

    It's always nice to know I didn't leave any kilos on the platform. It's the best way to end a meet.

    Bench went 3/3 with 9 white lights ended up with a 7.5kg-16.6lbs meet PR. I was fighting some glute cramps after squatting but everything worked out. One thing I didn't realize the mandatory liftoff was a new rule in the #usapl. Luckily @flugger128 was in the seats and stepped in to give me a few practice liftoffs, ty bud. Honestly thought I had more if I could of unracked myself. My setup wasn't optimal, but nonetheless I adjusted for the situation and added to my total.
    ...
    Opener: 132.5kg/292.1lbs
    2nd: 140kg/308.6lbs
    3rd: 145kg/319.7lbs

    It was, the first vid is my opener which was light by 2.5. By pushing the white arrow on the right of the vid-player when the vid is olaying, you can see the harder lifts.

    Thanks @genopowerlifting for making me & some people attending laugh during my opener(3rd vid) deadlift setup with your observant and crafty mic skills. Pajamas cheering me on-Hahaha!
    ...
    Ended up with a meet PR on deads of 17.5kg/38.6lbs. It was also my first time pulling sumo. I plan on switching back to conventionals ASAP now that I can train them again without excessive pain.
    ...
    A meet total of 580/1278.7 which is a meet PR of 40kg/88.2lbs. Unofficially adds to my current Illinois Masters state record.
    ...
    Missed breaking master state record on deadlifts by 5kg/11lbs. I definitely had the strength, but made a bad # call on my 3rd attempt not thinking imy 2nd moved well enough to go for it. Next meet I'll correct this one flaw in the meet.
    ...
    Final: 235kg/518.1
    2nd: 227.5kg/501.6lbs
    Opener: 215kg/474lbs
    ...
    All in all a sucessful meet with PRs breaking PRs and the two unofficial masters state records.
    ...
    A really well put together meet and we'll ran. The gym is crazy awesome.

    Pulling that same weight in pounds feels like more of struggle for some reason

    I get that! Kilo plates just look littler so it must weigh less, right?!? :D

    It is the same way as adding a 35+10 is lighter than adding another 45 to the bar. Strange isn't it.

    Well uncalibrated plates can have a large variant in most cases so it very possible on a deadlift of 500lbs you are in reality pulling 510-520lbs depending on how off they are.

    Obviously the same goes for pulling less weight. Hence why I never hold much water in the weight a plate states, it is but more of how well the bar moved with RPE style adjustments.

    Calibrated plates are definitely a luxury for training for a competition platform :).

    The hell of it is, my next meet in less than two weeks is in pounds.
