800 off the 2, around a second in 5 weeks. A bit humid in the gym, watch my legs at the top. That was scary. I'm glad I had it already pressed. . . . . . #inzer #inzeradvancedesigns #tentwentylife #1020life #1020L #fitness #buildingstrength #strengthprograms #prs #powerlifting #captainjacked #teamPRS #seminars #PowerRackStrength #SDP #nubreed #magnum #strengthtraining #equipped #powerlifting #bench #squat #dead . . . . .

____________________________________________________________________________

New block that I started 9/5
Monday – raw bench off chest, Raw boards then shirted (that’s it the whole day)
Wed – Squat/DL assistance – rowing, split squats, piston squats, chins, leg press etc
Thursday – Bench assistance & Fluff and Buff
Saturday – Squat – gear and for DL (staying raw & off blocks for a while, form dead in FusionDLer after) & Leg press

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.
