12-Week Strength - Week 8:
Tuesday, 2/5:
Bodyweight = 215.8
Deadlift Rehab:
135x6
185x6
225x6
255x6
275x6
295x6 @ 7
Back felt okay. Not great, but okay. More load related than the speed of the movement without a tempo. I'll continue to keep an eye on my loading while my back still isn't 100%.
Bench:
252x1 @ 8
220x3x5
Felt very strong in warmups. Smoked 252, may have been a 7.5, but also might've started the press off the chest a little quick. Had control of the bar on my chest on video, but it probably would've been a bit of a quick press command in a competition. Wish I had gone for 255+ based on how easy 252 felt.
Beltless Squat:
225x8 @ 6
235x8 @ 7
250x8x3 @ 8, 8, 8.5
No shoulder/arm pain or numbness this week. Increased the load by 5 lbs.
