Just realized on Wednesday that my competition is a month out. Didn't hit me until then. From here on out for heavy bench day we're using the shirts to get used to the groove. Yesterday went well with the shirt. I put up 385 and then 415. I've come down with a slight cold this past week, and was surprised by yesterday's 415. I'm looking to open above 400 come Dec 2 and take it from there. I've already done 430, but my shoulder yesterday didn't seem 100%, so I left it at that. I'm still concerned with my squat. I haven't felt comfortable with it since my meet last November. I want to hit a 600 squat this meet. I've already done a 545 in training for this meet, which was pretty good off the bottom, so I just have to keep my form for the next few weeks, hit it hard and REST! My dead is coming along. I've increased my conventional dead strength this training session. It was way down before because I've just been doing sumo. My grip feels better now, so that should be a plus come the meet. I want to pull 550 there. I definately want to total over 1500 at this meet. 550+ squat 400+ bench and 525+ deadlift. That's 1475 there. All 3 lifts should have a total more than that next month. I'll keep you posted.
