I racked it between sets of 2.

Overshot the 1@8 today a bit, but I thought it would be there within reason. I ended up rating it a RPE 9 and we’ll probably repeat. We’ll see what next week brings.

A little out of control today. Need to train just a little smarter here as I start preparing for the USSF meet here in Omaha in April.

A little too aggressive on the top double today. I think it’s time I tweak my RPE chart for my bench as there seems to be a precipitous fall off after singles. Lately, it seems my bench dies very quickly to where the typical chart is a too aggressive. I’ve been just winging it but maybe I should look at customizing the chart

30lbs lighter than last week at similar RPE’s. Felt a bit tired and ready to be done training when doing these today. Which is different than the last few months of training.

These moved kinda shitty today, so I didn’t push it too hard. We’re doing a mock meet next Friday and perhaps I can hit a small PR. That would be neat.

I am stronger than this. I got on my heels pretty bad on the single so I decided to call it there as far as working up. I wanted to hit 385 for a single, but I thought that would not be wise based on how the 370 went. I think one reason I struggle on the squat is technique flaws like this one that seem to appear randomly. I can pull with the same technique regularly, bench with the same technique regularly, but squats seem to continually evade my efforts at being consistent.
We’re going to test on Friday. I’m off today (Tuesday) but will squat 1@8, 3@8 on Wednesday.
Comp Bench
290x1@8, 270x3@8. This was a bit off from what I usually hit for an 8. Maybe things were just shitty today.

Test day
Squat: 385, 400, 417.5@10 (PR)
Bench: 290, 305, 315@10 (PR). It tried 320 as 315 didn’t seem to put up a large fight. It did not go.
Deadlift: 475, 495, 505x0

This week is pivot week. Only three days, but full of shenanigans as you’d expect.
