Comments:
-I came 1 hour late to training today! Coach rang me 30 minutes after I was supposed to be there, which then woke me up, and I got there as fast as I could, which was 1 hour late
-I get there and he says "we are going for a 1 rep max i full equipment today", excellent
-Suit was pretty damn tight, competition fit, took a little bit of time to get into it hah, I have bite marks near the crease of my hip/leg haha, cool
-Knee wraps were on pretty tight I think, although I'm not too sure, but my legs are bruised from them... I'm sure my coach could have gone tighter though
-The 341lb squat was probably the fastest squat I have ever done, it felt like about 220lbs raw would feel
-The suit fucks with me a bit, so I couldn't really tell depth that well, so I was a bit short on the 385, meh, I'll get that and more next week. Again the 385 was easy and fast, I could have got it ass-to-grass, plenty more in the tank. I WILL squat 440lbs in this competition in 6 weeks.
-The equipment feels fantastic, 25kg(55lbs) over my raw max felt like it was 55lbs under my raw max.
-Next week should be good, with a tighter bench shirt I'll bench a new PR(hopefully I'll get that 264 and then get 275+), and should push it a bit with the squats next week too, 400+ for sure I think

Nice job, sleepyhead.
