    Thanks guys definitely having fun, and I think my body is enjoying the less frequent training and more recovery.

    Last night did a full power day which has been kicking my butt, I focused on heavy deadlift and ended up looking like this:

    4 warm up sets

    Set 1, 245 x 5 reps
    Set 2, 295 x 4 reps
    Set 3, 320 x 3 reps
    Set 4, 370 x 2 reps
    Set 5, 370 x 2 reps

    My pulls felt good, I am pulling sumo. What I did notice and a friend pointed out to me is my first reps I'm not to and have my arms locked out, so I'm getting back into habit of pulling with back when I do that opposed to legs and back. So I have to focus on locking out arms and keeping tight. I noticed having long arms its important that I do that. I felt good deadlifting.

    Hey guys, had a little break these past few days but we are back in there tomorrow for Squat/Deads (Heavy/Explosive). I'll be putting together a program tomorrow with my buddy and start it Tuesday when we bench for first time. I'm excited and definitely having fun, strength is coming back so I'm happy about that. Update tomorrow with pictures and video.

    Last nights training was good ended up squatting then doing some speed deadlifts. Here is how it looked:

    Squats (off bench): *4 warm up sets w/135lbs

    Set 1: 295lbs x 5 reps
    Set 2: 315 lbs x 2
    Set 3: 345 lbs x 2
    Set 4: 345 lbs x 2
    Set 5: 370 lbs x 2

    Deadlifts: (speed/explosive)

    Set 1: 135 lbs x 8
    Set 2: 135 lbs x 8
    Set 3: 185 lbs x 10
    Set 4: 185 lbs x 10

    *first 2 sets were conventional, last 2 were sumo

    Glute Ham Raises/Calves: (superset)

    Set 1: 15 reps GHR, 90 x 25 reps calves
    Set 2: 20 reps GHR, 110 x 25 reps
    Set 3: 20 reps GHR, 110 x 25 reps
    Set 4: 20 reps GHR, 110 x 25 reps

    Standing Adductors

    Set 1-4: 150lbs x 15 reps

    Then did some cardio on stairs for 15 mins.

    As I went heavier on squat I tried focusing on staying tight but my body wants to bring my knees in on push up making it quad dominate. So breaking old habits has been a task but the weight felt good to get under again as my strength is returning. I will be benching tonight with my buddy which I'm excited about as its first time training together. Interested to see whats in store for tonights training. Report back later!

    Hey guys sorry haven't given any updates for a bit, life has just been happening. Good things though, just been busy but my progress has been going well. Currently between 224-230 most days eating when I want mainly, strength is going up each day. Not going to lie my workouts are intense now training with my friend, he's designed a program geared towards getting me ready for my first meet. I'm having a ton of fun and feeling very stress free. Anyways here's a video of me squatting in briefs for first time, enjoy!

    So I have squatted in both a single ply and multi ply suits for first time. I can't say if I like one more than the other I guess just have to get use to them. Only getting in equipment this early to see what fits me and what the feel is like. I have used single and multi ply bench shirt as well, and hate them both lol. Benched off a 2 board and still couldn't touch in either. Although I was told probably didn't have enough weight on bar for multi ply shirt as we only went 365.

    My most recent squat day looked like this

    Squats: using Texas squat bar
    Sets 1-5 x 3 reps
    *starting working sets at 225
    Set 6-8 x 2 reps
    315 x 2
    365 x 2
    405 x 2

    I've down this training day both raw and in equipment. One thing I notice in briefs stance is similar to raw, and same in single ply. Now in multi ply it is wider as the suit forces me to push my knees out.

    Deadlift: using deadlift bar with whip in it
    10 sets of 3 reps

    135 for 2 sets
    225 for 2 sets
    315 for 2 sets
    365 for 2 sets
    405 for 1 set
    425 for 2 sets

    Last night tried a deadlift suit which worked great for keeping me tight especially in a sumo stance. I will probably train on and off in one as I strengthen my stability muscles and pull raw in meet as I don't really get much out of it.

    Seated hamstring curls
    3 set x 15 reps

    Glute ham raises
    3 sets to failure (usually get 6-10 as these are my weaker areas)

    Front squat
    2 sets x 15 reps
    135lbs
    185 lbs

    As far as my bench goes, I haven't gone over 315 raw in this training cycle. I really don't like the shirt but could see it as a great training tool keeping my tight and focusing on elbows being in. Hopefully I can get the feel of it and get it down to my chest so I can get a decent bench out of it. My goal is to have a 405 raw bench, 600 deadlift and 550-600 squat. I'd be happy with those totals for my first meet. I'm also doing a Push/Pull meet in December as its near my hometown and my friends and family can come out, I'll probably go just straight raw there. I'll keep everyone updated and have to post these videos too.
