Belt squats. Bike.

After yesterday’s excellent squat and bench, I felt like working singles on my deadlift. But in doing so, the technique emphasis is on keeping torso tightness to mind my back, and that my setup is a little more “settled”. Things moved nicely so I went for it. Not a big PR but still a PR.
.
Bench was fine. Then did belt squats instead of leg press since someone else had an elaborate band setup on the press machine. Good day.

Continuing to feel better. After hitting that 335x1 last week and it feeling really good save a bit of balance issue, I opted to go for it again. First, every setup I need to get a bit more under the bar to be properly centered and balanced (SSB difference) from the start. Then just TIGHT torso throughout. I liked how everything moved. I wanted to go for 3 and it came easily. Nice.
.
Bench tho. My pecs continue to feel weird. I’m not really sure of the cause. Opted to drop volume and just work up singles. I feel it more on later reps so… singles right? Everything just kept feeling good, too good. So I went with it. Hitting 3 wheels without planning or trying for it was pretty cool. Benching 3 plates had been a goal, and today by chance I achieved it. Hell yeah.
.
Thanx to @wrathofkahn41 for the spot.

I briefly toyed with the idea of emailing, asking the mayor the same but honestly what’s the point? I’m pretty sure he’s a ‘true believer’ and I’d not likely convince him to leave the group anyway. Better to just campaign to get him voted out.
They’ve cast their lot, they’ve shown their colors.
