Thanks.
I'm shooting for 585x8 next week. That will be my last heavy lift for reps. If I hit that I'll feel pretty confident in 300+ kg.
Just taking a year off heavy deads apparently made my grip go to shit. So I've been doing barbell holds, but I still haven't lifted over 600 without straps since 2018. Ha
I do think sumo is more skewed towards reps though. Like if you can get it off the floor you can usually hit it for reps, but once it's heavy beyond a certain point you'll get possible form breakdown that causes a miss.

Yeah, that's why I'm going to overshoot it to 585x8. On a calculator it looks like it would be a 720+ dead, but I'm guessing it'll really be around 660-680.

Well, 345 didn't quite move as easy as I wanted. Probably had 365 for a grinder in me. I did feel a bit off this morning though. Might be from the covid I got the other day, not sure.

Weight today was 196.4
Workout was,
2x1 squat @ 455lbs
X8 squat @ 455lbs *PR
4x7 pin press @ 255
Squats were a bit sloppy, but luckily the strength was more than there. I think having covid is just throwing me off a bit. I don't feel bad, but my focus and energy just isn't there. If it's just the covid, then hopefully I'll be back to 100% before the end of this week.

Solid sorry about rona.
Stay safe and hopefully it is not the Rona. Your health is important too.

You actually tested positive for it?

Thanks. It's really not that bad. Most of my friends have it right now as well. Granted we're all 24-26 but we have all come to an agreement that we've had worse colds.

Oh hell no. I personally never went to get tested. My gf tested positive though and we may or may not engage in premarital sex

Conventional or sumo?
Brandaddy

That was sumo. I haven't been at this level of strength on conventional in a couple years now. Don't know if I'll ever go back to conventional unless I have to. Lol.

Didn't really feel good today. Then had my buddy talk me into doing some dabs with him and going into the city to hit the gym. Ended up loading up 7 plates and hit it pretty decent for being pretty stoned and down 3lbs from yesterday.
