+40lbs was easier than i expected. I’ll stick with it for the week though.

Squats were fine today.

I had thought to start adding an easy top single for bench on H day, but my need for singles is many months away. Gonna trust the process.
I’ll get a heavy single on week 2 power days, and a few decent ones on first weeks.
I also just wanted to be done, and still had dips to do.

I plan on ramping things up a little next week for lower body, then returning to full volume with these same weights after that.
May just pull a 385 DL single instead of 405, and do a just couple of worksets.
I’ll shoot for 50% volume for squats

Just about paused the last rep here to keep the bar on path.

Going to hold station at these weights, and work on extending the pauses for all sessions.

Bench ~ Regretably calling bench today due to sore wrists and elbow areas from wrestling around many giant rocks yesterday.
No dips either.
Still 5 1/2 months out from meet day.

Make up session for yesterday’s bench. Wrists feel better from the rock stuff, but still laying off dips.

None of the squat sets looked great today, but i guess this was best.
I experimented with not being as upright on the 2nd and 3rd reps here.
I’m not sure i like it.

I’m wanting to increase pause duration for the heavier reps before adding weight.
I’ll finish the cycle next week with 210 on S day, and i will most likely just repeat same weight for next cycle.
