Comments:
-After getting into a loose suit during the week, I had forgotten how tight this suit was... went on faster as I had suit slippers today, but it took me ages to get it off, ouch...
-the 352 lbs squat was just a warmup and to get the suit seated properly. It was pretty shit, as I came down I got pulled forward(I'm not really used to suits yet), so I decided to pause for a bit at the bottom(too deep I think) to get stable again, but as I came up I still had too much weight on my toes and had to step forward a bit at the top to stop falling over, went up with okay speed, lockout was a little slow due to being off-balance. Not heavy though, with just a suit and no wraps or belt.
-A PR for suit only(no belt/wraps), but I'm only going to count and think of PRs as raw, or equipped, nothing inbetween. A bullshit PR like the 385 anyway(meaning, I can do alot more )
-the sets were damn easy, I could have done this raw, much easier than I thought it would be which is good, suit bottom still gives a bit I think. It feels good to be repping that so easily
-I think I'll go to 308lbs for 4x4 next week, not sure may put staps up I'll talk to my coach
-I want to order my bench shirt(size 40 Titan Fury) within the next days, gotta get in contact with some club members so we can do a combined order and split the shipping hah. I think I've found a soft suit, second hand one from an ex-club lifter who came in today to drop of the stuff, should get it cheap.
-I should be able to press out 286lbs now in the size 40 fury(I hope), or close to it. So I'll be expecting 286-308 in the meet after I work the board presses harder.
