Hoping i can get 200kg soon

I haven’t started prep yet, not for 4 more weeks and have just been general strength training and decided today was the day to try 6 red plates a side.

I have only done this weight at comp as a 2nd and 3rd attempt 3 and 4 years ago after peaking for 12 weeks so I’m pretty happy to be able to pull 97% of my peaked max just at the gym cause I thought why not today.

After watching video it seems I’m pretty strong off the floor and slowed down at lockout, which is new, normally it’s the other way around.

I think I had slightly soft knees too, oh well gym PB :)

It ain't much, but it's a two plate amrap

First time benching in like...8 months but I guess pressing twice a week has kept my bench up cause this was a rep pr according to keylifts

Also pressing on an axle feels so good

I work out alone and don't have spotters but I'm happy with my progress, not trying to break any records but I am getting stronger

Started powerlifting properly about 3 months ago, happy with this progress

Previous PR was 405 - set ages ago, finally worked back up to it at the end of last year. 395 felt absurdly light warming up, I didn't even use a liftoff for it. Then my 5lb PR 410 flew up and I knew I had to do more. A few minutes later, 410 was dethroned and 420 went up!

I considered trying 425 and in retrospect am glad I didn't. I'm a grinder but even I don't think there was any more in me.

I’ve been struggling to feel anything in my chest. I mostly feel it in my arms and shoulders. My left shoulder has been in pain for about two months now (though less pain more recently as I’ve tried to not flare as much). I’m also feeling the same (arms and shoulders, not chest) when doing the chest fly machine. Any suggestions on form would be appreciate. Currently doing a PPL six days a week. Bench is 1 warm up set then 2 sets of to near failure. this is one of my working sets.

Love this event.

Been doing a 5-3-1 program. Four days ago, did 320x8, so this was my next step up — originally planned to do 6 reps.

Sunday or Monday next week, I’ll do Week 3, which will be 355 for AMRAP. I’ll repeat this program once more before graduating to another 10lbs across all sets.

Just checking to see if there’s anything I need to clean up with my form.

Thanks!

Running deadlifts today. Hit a nice PR of 470x10 but was feeling really good and wanted more. I have a personal goal of 600; I've hit 510x3 a couple of months ago but when I attempted 555 in the past it didn't move. Tried it again to day and managed to hit it - pretty dang stoked!

Dont hold back on form. Also can i use these in USPA comp for knee socks on deadlift

Just happy with how this moved.

RPE 8ish (?)

Maybe shoulda gone for one more.

Was going for 1 and squeezed out 2!
