Week 3 - Day 1
Bodyweight: 161.4lbs
Competition Squat
325x1 @ 7
345x1 @ 8
275x5x5

Here’s my top single. Lifted at my buddy’s place with suboptimal lighting, so can’t confirm depth, but it definitely looks like I hit it. Rep was a little slow, but to be fair, all my squats are slow. Rep felt real good.

Competition Press
125x1 @ 7
135x1 @ 8
112.5x4x5

Felt really easy today.

Closegrip Incline Bench
105x10 @ 7
115x10 @ 10 whoops
105x10 @ 9

Fatigued real fast on these today. Oh well.

Week 3 - Day 2

Bodyweight: 161.2lbs
Competition Deadlift
315x1 @ 7
335x1 @ 8
265x5x5

This is the easiest 335 has felt in 6 weeks now. Backing off the intensity has really helped I think.

Competition Bench
190x1 @ easy
205x1 @ 8
170x4x5

Beltless Squats
195x10 @ 7
