Weird day.
Was scheduled for just one single, but hook decided to want to slip 1st single, which is abnormal, especially at this weight. But I held on.
Tried again and one shoulder wanted to come forward at the top.
Tried again but wasn't happy with how long my knees were locked.
4th try was passable.
Then the learning curve with the new heavy duty cotton straps was a bit of a struggle until the last set when I got them more or less figured out.

242.5 (second single) too vertical off chest.
This is why I've added singles to medium day, need the reps.

One pair are 44lbs each, and i put the fractionals on for 405.
403 is my basic KG equivalent of 182.5kg

Buried 1st two, cut the 3rd parallel.
Not concerned about that.
I do want a bit better positioning on these, but this is a big step mentally at this point.

Great lift! Congrats. Looks like a nice warm workout space.

Great lift! Congrats. Looks like a nice warm workout space.

Thank you, i appreciate the good words.
First time with over 400 on my back since early August, a week before my back tweak.
8 weeks until meet day.

**Edit - Oh hey, just took a peek at your log and see you are a Masters lifter as well.

You're posting really nice numbers. Where's the meet going to be?

I've been taking a break from heavy deads and squats for the last few months. I'll try to keep truckin--with any luck maybe I'll make it to a meet this year!

Nice depth first two, good positioning today, funny little stop halfway up on the 2nd.
Then i decided i wanted to hit the hole harder and get better speed on the 3rd.
May have just squeaked it in for depth, but i'm happy to have felt less guarded on that rep and hit my rebound.

I didn't have it in mind to do 5 singles, but there was something I needed to iron out, and it took 5 tries.
Did these before wife got up, so no music today
Had to get this in before snow work.

One 403 w/ good depth, one parallel (not shown) 408 was borderline/not great.
A bodyweight PR for sure though.
Go again Sunday and do better.

2nd 408 shown
403 was fine for depth, 1st 408 was parallel, said F that and squatted 408 deep
Also, Friday's 408 was a misload, and was 413, so that's a nice bonus.
