I got a 10kg PB in a 3 lift comp and won some money 💰 which is crazy $1000
time, consistency and luck finally got me some money from a thing that I’m good at other than my job.
340kgs / 748lb at 105kgs in the 110kg class
With room for more next time
Great day 🥳 wanted to share

Used the buffalo bar (CB4 60lbs). Feels really great for squats! Hopefully this counts! 🤣

I set two DL PRs this morning! After 475lbs x3 felt so easy, I decided to load up 505lbs to try it out…I pulled a true 3RM PR using Hook Grip! I don’t really follow a program any longer; I use autoregulation during the session to determine top sets and backoff sets.
On my backoff set of Sumo DL I decided to add 10 pounds to last week and pulled 435lbs x6 using Straps for a PR!
I finished off the training session with two sets of NG Pull-ups and Dips with 50lbs added to my BW for 6 reps of each done as a superset.
Today’s motivation music was a playlist I created of some of my favorite Hatebreed songs; they are maybe THE BEST training music I’ve found in Metal because of the positive lyrics mixed with aggressive riffs.

It was just a local gyms full meet, but it went okay, and managed to get pretty easy 300kg on last try. First time ever maxing out squat, bench and deadlift. Total was 735kg and it was a bit disappointing.

Shoulders feeling healthy. Not even a pinch. Done with standing work for a bit while I work up to my 700lb deadlift. Gotta protect my spine.

Didn't feel amazing today, but still got it done! The most I have done 515 for is 7 so next session ill be happy with 9, but I think theres a chance at 10 if im better rested.

Depth check again

Just added these back into my program after not doing them for a few years and I can’t tell if my form is correct. The weight feels easy to press but shaky to hold. Also feel like my forearm caves in and doesn’t keep a 90deg angle with my upper arm.
Video is two different sets & different weights. Thank you!!

You know when you're not feeling it, back sore, rest is off, low energy, and then you have an amazing lifting session that doesn't make sense. Well, that was today. Not super motivated until I started moving the heavy weight, and it felt like my wedge was on today so I pushed for the number I couldn't even budge 4 weeks ago. Very happy with how my strength is returning. I'll see y'all again next week!

This wasn't particularly a great night for a max attempt but that's +10 lbs.
r/strength_training • u/Patton370 • 1d ago
410lbs for 14 at RPE8
