06 Jul Jonathan Byrd Squat and Deadlift Training

Squat and deadlift combo day. I really didnt have a plan set in stone today, but wanted to do some heavier stuff. Decided I would throw on some briefs and work up to a single in the 7-8 RPE range. Then go a little heavier than last week on the form pulls.

Squats
2×5@bar
2×5@145
2×3@255
1×3@345
1×1@435
added briefs
1×2@525
added wraps
1×1@615
1×1@700
1×1@770

Deadlift: Conventional stance

2×3@315
1×1@405
1×1@455
3×1@495

Overall was a solid training day. The squats felt great, and I am starting to get the feel for pulling conventional again. Body weight is staying in the mid 280s, but I am hoping that my crapping eating on July 4th didnt mess that up!
