job done. I was going to shut it down at 485 as that was my aim and goal and wanted to hit it nice, however I was feeling another set as I didnt really get fired up and got it easier. Been almost a year since I lasted squatted 225kg.. looking at meets quite close now, one in 5 weeks which is a qualifier for the british classic/nationals which are in 9. I will see how deadlifts go friday and make my decision over the weekend I think

stumbled across an absolute beauty of an exercise with those paused deads. They will be used for sure! have to really fight your hips popping up too early then explode through the sticking point. felt like a productive session for sure. 3 days off now ready to officially start training cycle monday. de load doesnt mean you can be lazy!

[HJP]

First time taking a look bro and some good stuff in here bro! Massive PR on the deads back there. Keep at it

[Coke]

Good training days Jay.
