I can’t say that I felt very good going into this session but once I got warmed up, I was ready. My focus right now is pretty on point. It should always be, but a little more so this time around for a few reasons.

The goal for the day was to take a last warm-up to a 1bd and go over 700 for a few sets for this first time this cycle.

Normal warm-up
Bench
405
500 – 3bd
Added SDP
610 – 3bd
680 – 2bd
730 – 1bd
770 – 2bd
800 – 2bd – feet got wild on this one

Shoulder saver CG with feet up
320×5
370×5
410×5 – smoked me

Band fly: 3×15

And some other light stuff (most of my assistance is done on Thursday’s fluff & Buff).

Weights moved well. Still getting used to adjusting the shirt more and more. Always learning more about the setting and placement. I will say that my bench is starting to come around, slowly. I’m practicing with the shirt pulled lower and more cranked with the lighter weights. I need to get more carryover out of my shirt.

I’m going to push for another week, then it’s time for a deload. I can feel the last 10 days pretty good. I’ll survive though.

Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw,' then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC). Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff. Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back. After years of back pain and failed therapy, Brian met with world-renowned back specialist Prof McGill in 2013, which changed his trajectory more than he could have imagined. In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
