550 x 1 2 board

laying cable skull crushers
55 x 8 x 3

Staying nice and consistent. Had good power on the 550. The isolation on the cable skull crushers felt good and smooth. Maybe not a lot of weight but helped put that extra on top after the final single. Next week should be a raw week. Shoulder could use a break. Don't want to risk overdoing it at this point. Plus that will give me about 3 training weeks leading straight up to the meet.

Bad day, but a good session. Funny how that works out. The reverse deadlifts allow me to tighten the suit up more then normal to get used to it.

Just a few more training weeks then I put it on the line

No briefs under the suit?

No briefs under the suit?

Nope, now that I'm back to 242 lbs their too tight. Didn't think I had enough time to properly break in a new pair for this meet, and I doubt they'd fit under my squat suit anyways.

780 with blue band from 2 weeks ago, you can see where I leaned forward a bit but strugled for the recovery and finished it.

I'm right there with you except I can fit in a pair of single ply Centurion briefs. I can get my Pro briefs under my Ace when I'm about 210, but I'm sitting closer to 225 right now.

[Sorrow]

Yeah I could fit my predators under my jack suit when I was 217, around 230 it took forever to get them on and I was almost completely bound up after I did get them on. I'm much happier at this heavier weight though so I'll be doing some shopping after tax's are done.
