Week B #3

Gear:
None / no belt

Shoulder-Stance Back Squat:
335 x 1
365 x 1
335 x 4/4/4/4
285 x 8

Almost put the belt on for the 335 sets, then I grew a pair and just went for it.

Medium-Grip Bench Press:
325 x 1
340 x 1
320 x 2/2/2
300 x 5

The 300 set was the hardest.

Stiff-Leg Deadlifts w/ Quarter Plates:
295 x 1
345 x 4/5/4

Gue3ss lower back as tired, but still almost got 3x5.

Also, I *officially* challenged Dave to post the first 500+ contest raw squat. My plan is to do it on June 28 at the AAU Worlds. Then again, Gary is probably lifting there, so we're screwed.

I'll see if I can do it at Raw Nationals this year. I think that's in July? I don't plan to squat in contest anytime before then. Given the 3 contests in 8 weeks, I have to give myself some time to train, hahaha.

When you do a heavy single in your workouts, how do you determine what weight to use?

It's just 10-30 lbs above the working set weight, depending on the exercise. The back-off sets are usually 20-50 lbs less than the working set weight.
