Recovery day

Decided to take a day of fairly easy stuff to get some blood in my muscles to recover a little.
Long Spud Inc ab strap: 4 sets of 12
Wide grip fat bar pulldowns: 5 sets of 12
Low row on cable machine: 4 sets of 10
Close grip 4 board lockout: 225 X 10, 315 X 10, 365 X 10
front raise-side raise-rear raise with 10 lbs: 2 sets of 60

Russians in briefs

Squats: 415 X 2, 505 X 5, 595 X 3, 645 X 3, 705 X 3, 545 X 5 Not a bad night considering my back was trying to revolt against squatting. That was the most reps i have done with 700 and am happy with it. Time to start easing off a little to rest and heal up.

Bench Opener night

I've got a shirt that isn't as tight as my meet shirt to open with, but that doesn't mean it isn't tight!
All weights done in shirt: 405 X 1 off 3 board, 495 X 1 off 2 board, 545 X 1 off 1 board, 575 X didn't quite touch the chest, but went up well. The shirt was pretty jacked up so I figure if we don't jack it up so much at the meet I can touch 575-580 for an opener.

Fat Guy in a little suit!

I decided since I had an extra 25 pounds on me since I last wore my deadlift suit it might be a good idea to see if I could still get it on. It was not a pretty sight, but it went on.
Deads worked up to 405 X 2, then suit bottoms on 455 X 1, Straps up, 455 X 1, suit off 405 X 2
and that was that. We had a rising bodybuilder come down to the gym on Saturday to hang out and talk to people. All of the powerlifters kept trying to get me to posedown with him in my suit that was so small on me it looked like i had posing briefs on. I think not!

Extra Upper Work

Low Row: 4 sets of 10
Spud Inc Long Ab Strap pull downs: 4 sets of 12
Overhead press off pins with chains: Did sets of 5 with 135 and added a chain each set up to 5 chains per side.
Shrugs with neutral grip shrug bar: did sets of 10 from 2-5 plates per side.
Double band Triceps push down: 5 sets of 15 with purple bands.
Fat bar Wide grip lat pull downs: 3 sets of 12

My chest was still sore from all the dumbbell work on Monday so I didn't do any chest.

Last Week in Suit

Squats: 145 X 12, 235 X 8, 335 X 3, 485 X 1 (briefs) 595 X 1, 735 X 1 (suit) 815 X 3 This was a challenge, but it was fun. The first two were clean....and the third was ugly but it got up.
Closed the Gym down and pulled the sled for 2 laps with 2 plates.
Reverse Hyper: 1 set of 20 with 500

Deload Bench Night

It was finally time to take a deload night for upper so I tagged along with Spud.
Dumbell Press: 60 X 20, 75 X 15, 100 X 4 sets of 10
Reverse pec Deck rear delt ext: 4 sets of 10
1/2 dips (they were more than 1/2 dips, but not real dips): 4 sets of 10
Spud Inc Long Ab strap crunches: 4 sets of 15 and 2 sets of obliques (If I still have those)
Some sort of close grip rows we do from time to time (we call them prison pulls because there is a lot of hip thrusting and a little flailing while you try to do your set): 3 sets of 10
