280x1, 260x4x4
2ct paused bench
285x1, 260x4, 255x4, 250x4x2. First work set a was a bit too intense, RPE 8.5 or so. Needed to reduce the weight a bit to keep it in check

squats felt super heavy and dumb today… It feels like I’m not making much progress, but looking at my E1RM data it shows a general small trend upwards. It’s time like this I’m reminded of something @Jordan_Feigenbaum told me once in an email
“As far as training and motivation, I think that once you’re past your novice and early intermediate gains, you simply join the ranks of those who get to work hard and stay patient for the progress. You learn how to work hard early on in the training process, but often the patience has to come later, and it sounds like that’s where you’re at. “

I spent most of the day landscaping at the house. Hauled probably 500 lbs of rock, one 5 gallon bucket at a time. Need to mulch and plant in the front of the rocks but here is how it stands now…
2" deficit deadlift

2ct paws squat
205x6x2, 215x6
Comp squat
350x2, 365x1@9, 345x2x2. Thought 365 would have been close to an 8 but things were heavy today… bummer
Comp press
192.5x1@8.5, 197.5x0@10, 180x2x3. I thought 197.5 would be there at about an RPE 9-9.5. I was wrong. The press can be so dumb sometimes… here is a video of me missing… something over only ever done a hand full of times I training. I was obviously very happy about this.
Tng bench
210x6,215x6x2
Comp deadlift
440x2@8, 455x1@9, 420x2, 430x2. This should have been 430x2x2 but I misloaded the bar. Wanted at least 470 here but much like the squat it just wasn’t in the cards today. 455x1 was pretty slow.

Squat with belt
350x1, 350x2, 335x2x2. These were tough. I’m trying to break the behavior of feeling out the first rep on squats. I think this is a remnant from when my hips we’re super pissed off a month or so ago and they would hurt going into the bottom of the squat.
They don’t hurt anymore but this behavior lingers… it’s pretty damn frustrating because, you know, singles are pretty important in power lifting.
Has anyone else deal with this?

Comp bench
240x6, 250x6, 265x5@10. Failed the 6th rep. Oops. I thought I’d have it for around a 9 but no dice. Be smarter.
SSB Squat
Some amount of weightx6x2, 220x6x2@9. I can never add weight up right on this odd bar!

TnG Bench
235x6, 245x6, 250x6
3-0-0 tempo press
65x10, 75x10, 85x9. These are gnarly for sets of 10…
Deadlift with chains. Bought some new chains for this and other variants. Used about 70lbs of chain in addition to the listed bar weight

comp squat
305x5, 360x1, 370x1@9, 295x5x5. I thought maybe I could move 370 at the same speed and RPE as 360 but I was wrong. Should have stopped at 360.

Comp deadlift
375x5, 430x1, 460x1, 375x5x4
The 460 single got well out in front of me off the floor. This led to some decent back rounding. RPE 8.5. Need to clean this up

3-0-0 tempo squat with chains (~80lbs of chain)
225x4, 245x4, 265x4@9, 250x4x2
This was fun. Playing with new toys is always fun. tbh using chains made me feel like a bit of a badass. It sounds dumb but it’s the truth.
Tng Bench
245x4, 255x4, 270x4@9, 257.5x4x2.
Bench is going pretty well lately. Gotta keep it up and put some more on here for the meet. R shoulder is being achey for some reason, but it’s not really affecting my strength. So it doesn’t matter. I think I’ve slept on it a few times recently. That will do it for me.
3-0-0 tempo press.
85x8x3. These are terrible.
I’ve been kind of hyper focused on my squat the last month or so. My E1RM’s trend for the last like 30 weeks is weak. I think it has to do more with confidence than actual strength. I need to snap out of this somehow soon. I read some quotes on the Exodus strength forums that seem to put this into perspective for me
It is pretty easy to become a negative asshole - lifting is a hobby, and being miserable about a hobby isn’t worth it.

235x8x3. Can’t claim that these were all exactly 6 count on the eecentric. fight me. 
Comp squat
300x5, 365x1@8, 300x5x5.
Squats felt like I actually knew what I was doing which is great. Maybe I’ll break this funk I’ve been in since USSF nationals
