▼ 1. 3/9/09 - Sun - SHEIKO #36/TEST DAY

Weight: 210.  +35/+20/+20 = +75 PR day.

• Squat 225x3 (50), 260x3 (60), 305x2x2 (70), 350x2 (80), 390x1 (90), 415x1 

(95), 445x1 (102), 460x1 (106)

Sweet. I knew that squats would set the tone for the day, so I was honed in mentally. My friends watching (Danny and Frank) said I was well below parallel on 460. Danny was berating me for it.

• Bench 145x3 (50), 170x3 (60), 200x2x2 (70), 230x2 (80), 255x1 (90), 270x1 

(95), 290x1 (102), 300x1 (105)

Awesome. Pauses probably weren't as long as USAPL, but I had a friend calling them so they were legit.

• Deadlift 271x3 (50), 326x2 (60), 381x2x2 (70), 431x2 (80), 486x1 (90), 516x1 

(95), 551x1 (102)

550 was a good, tough rep, and I really didn't think I had anything left in me.

• Deadlift (suited) 400x1, 490x1, 581xmissx2

First time putting the suit back on since it was tailored and since gaining some weight. It was VERY tight. Very difficult to put on and get down to the bar. I couldn't keep any kind of arch. 580 came off the floor pretty easily, but I kept losing my balance forward at halfway/lockout. I'm not very worried about this in terms of getting 600 in May; I've gotten stronger raw and I've done no suited training at all lately. Also, my head really wasn't in the lifts at this point.
