Squat and Dead video

[Lifer]

I don't post here often, but lurk all the time. Here are some vids from a meet I did yesterday. BW 228.

3rd attempts for both. Not bothering to put the bench up because it was 270, which I believe we all probably did in 10th grade. Squat is actually a walked out, non knee wrap PR, and dead is an all time pr. Not bad for only pulling as heavy as 465 for 5 in training for the past 5 months.

Didn't see or hear the #'s. What did you pull/squat?

[Lifer]

Sorry realized that after posting. Squat was 505 and dead was 605. BW was 228.

Thanks, your comments about my deadlifting last fall really helped out. Feel I got rid of that yanking motion at the beginning completely. Don't know if that contributed to my bicep tear, but it wasn't helping either.

I am just thinking 510 and 610 for now, but we will see.

Great mindset.

And that's awesome to hear you had such success with submaximal lifts in training.

I'm assuming you're a disciple of 5/3/1?

Squat was absolutely buried!

Have done 5/3/1 before and do like the philosophy behind it. After tearing my bicep in September and having surgery, I just stayed away from training until cleared by the doctor. Started up again the last week of October and did the madcow 5x5 to get my lifts back up. So squatting 3 times per week. I had to re-set the weights one time during the whole process because I got sick and missed two sessions, but pretty much progressed each week. Started very light and just stayed consistent. De-loaded this week and we are away on vacation this upcoming week. When I re-start May 1, going to follow the juggernaut method. Probably going to compete at the IPA raw nationals in August, so might see you there.

465 for 5 with deads with the most I did for reps. The deadlift workout 2 weeks prior to the meet, to get an idea of an opener, I did pull 510 for a single, but it wasn't like I was working with those types of weights. Most I squatted was 415 for 5 in training and then did 425 for a single later that week to see how that felt for an opener. All in all went well, just need to get the bench back up.
