Squat, Bench, & Dead Maxes. Tuesday, 5/24/11.

Squat
- 1st attempt: 225x1
- 2nd attempt: 245x1 --> (ties old PR!!!)
- 3rd attempt: 255xFAIL --> (caved in right from the bottom, had no power, too heavy)

Bench
- 1st attempt: 165x1 --> (felt incredibly heavy, given my PR is 180 and I was looking to increase that, I just stopped here with how fatigued I was)

Deadlift
- 1st attempt: 345x1
- 2nd attempt: 365x1 --> PR!!!!!! - (this is a 15lb PR!!!)
(second attempt very tough but I was able to get my hips through and lock it out well, strong pull off the ground though. Decided not to go for a 3rd attempt)

--> TOTAL = 775

**** MY BODY WEIGHT IS ABOUT 137 LBS. I FINALLY GOT MY SQUAT BACK UP TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE MY ACHILLES INJURY IN JANUARY. MY DEADLIFT WAS 350 BEFORE THE INJURY AND PULLING 365 TODAY WAS GREAT!! MY BENCH THIS QUARTER OF 180 IS STILL MY BEST AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS AS WELL. TODAY'S TOTAL OF 775 IS MY BEST SINGLE-DAY LIFT TOTAL AND IS ONLY 15 LBS BELOW MY CURRENT PR'S TOTAL OF 790 LBS. ****

UCLAPF’s Inaugural Meet

For Sat, Nov 15: First post, first experience with a meet setting. (If of course a substitute mini-meet at Wooden, is that.) Granted the last three weeks to cut and make weight is probably more 'core than these numbers, overall, my first PL experience was good. And it was a pleasure meeting the other guys, as well. Thanks to everyone for any tips, help, or just yelling at me. The newbie's tally for 132 pd./ RAW division is as follows:

SQUAT
185 Yup.
225 Nope. (Close; but didn't hit low enough?)
225 Nope. (Failed- Not enough gas.)

BENCH
215 Yup.
235 Nope. (Failed)
235 Yup.

DEAD
340 Yup.
370 Yup. (Questionable-- ..dragged up too slow? Fail? Not sure.)

Squat Day: Fail

Well, it turns out that you feel hella weak after maxing out. I did not know this, so I tried squatting today. I failed miserably (225 felt like 305 did at the meet).

I ended up just doing a bunch of seated GM's & OH squats with a broomstick, some back raises, and some abs.

And for the record, my mini-meet results:

295/195/400 = 890 = crap except for the Deadlift

Good job Dean. My 70 lbs were no match for your mad skillz.

Mini-Meet Results

Squat
375 - pretty easy
395 - Missed, no tightness out of the hole
395 - Missed, same reason
Not exactly happy with this because I use 190kg (418) as my max and base my percents off of that.

Bench
225 - Got it
245 - Missed, no chance

My bench sucks

Deadlift
365 - easy
385 - pretty easy
405 - exactly 100% of my max. Probably the slowest deadlift I've ever performed.
Very happy with deadlift performance since this is equal to my all time best deadlift, set while I was actually performing powerlifting-style training. Go weightlifting.
