It's max-testing week and instead of testing each lift on a separate day, I decided to just make a something of a mock meet out of today.
I had a goal of squatting 315 doing in today. Warmups felt good, 300 wasn't really difficult but it felt really unbalanced. 315 felt much better form-wise but was pretty tough. 325 was a hell of a grinder but felt technically good and is very close to my PR of 330 at this bodyweight.
Bench warmups felt great, 170 and 185 shot up. 200 is a paused PR and it actually didn't feel that heavy, though I could really feel my left arm struggling. 210 barely got off my chest. Really need to start doing more unilateral work.
Deadlifts felt good to the point that I honestly thought 405 wouldn't be too tough to hit. Sadly I couldn't even get it off the ground. A little surprised as just about anytime my squat has been over 300, a 405 deadlift was a given. Nonetheless came back to hit 385, which is a hook grip PR.
Overall very happy with this cycle went from starting "maxes", they were actually max doubles, of 280, 180 and 340. Very happy with my squat progress, content with my bench and honestly a little disappointed in my deadlift, despite the 45lb improvement.
