Pretty good session I must say. I decided to try out the repetition effort method. I took my goal deadlift of 585 and did 6 singles with it over and over to strain my body and freak out my central nervous system. I'm very pleased with my grip in being able to hold on to the bar without much difficulty.

If I go to state and do the full meet, then I will hope to hit the following lifts:

744 squat
485-501 bench
584 deadlift

That would give me if I'm able, an 1800+ pound total. We shall see!
