knees weren't aching at all, so wasn't sure if that was a good sign or a bad sign, but as I got squatting they didn't feel so hot, then as I got heavier they felt pretty much fine. Pec still not happy. Calf is more or less fine again.
Warm up
-did the Paul warm up, hadn't done it for a while, and didn't feel too tight as I was doing it.
lat stretch
pec stretch
Squat with 45lbs chains
405 x 3 singles, 425x1 single, 445x3 reps
-was just planning on doing singles and stayng fresh for friday, but I felt like the workout was doing more harm then good. I planned on doing 10 singles with 405, but started going heavier as I was feeling the weights were too light for me to hit some smooth squats.
the 445 triple felt really good, felt like I left a couple reps in the hole, and I'm starting to feel like all the front squatting is paying off even if I didn't hit the numbers I was hoping for.
deadlift with 75lbs chains
- I've never been a big deadlifter before a meet, and I'd rather be fresh, then fully trained on pulls. I've done all my best deadlifting without deadlifting at all before the meet, then again, I've only done 2 meets where I trained it regularly.
405x1,495x1, 525x1 belt on
- pull felt good, just walked up and pulled it, kept my back flat and tight, but didn't worry about arching, so much as I worried about just pushing my feet thru the floor to get rid of my sticking point at my knees. this is a PR deadlift for me so far, I did 525 with 45 lbs chains with a tough lockout, and this was more with an easier lockout, and at that meet, I had 590 at my knees with no belt, so I'm hoping 600 is about to go down.
