Squats and Pulls
Reverse Band Squats
Worked up to 635x1 Raw
Rack Pulls
Worked up to 495 bar weight plus added tension from orange short bands.
Pulldowns
3 sets of 10
Seated Rows
3 sets of 10
Pretty happy nailing that 635. It was pretty easy but the bar was whipping like mad so I can't really gauge where my squat strength is at.
I'm going to ease off of squatting and deadlifting for a little while. I'll continue to condition my legs with squats but I don't plan on going mega heavy as I have been. As for deadlifting, I'm going to go back to focusing on Barbell Rows like I was doing as I felt they really contributed to my added success in the bench. Just a little over 3 months out and I plan on making a 600+ bench at this next meet and I need to get my low end strength up as to get a big push right off the bat. Should be fun.
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
