What about my deadlift?
Bit frustrated with last week though, as even though I hit a couple of
PR's I'm pretty sure I was weaker than the day I pulled 462lbs(good for a double I was on that day). Every single week of my training I have felt stronger, or equally as strong as the previous week. This is the first time that did not happen!
Hopefully I'll be good tomorrow and pull more than 440lbs for doubles, no doubt I'll still get the 440lbs even if I'm not feeling 100%, but before last week I was planning to double 462lbs in this last session.
Minimum deadlift goal is 484lbs, I'd like to get closer to 506lbs though, but I believe I will get 484, and will be disappointed if I don't!
Your post got me thinking a bit more about my lifts(thanks), so I'll post some more:
Squat: I don't really know lol, with the equipment which I haven't maxed out in I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen. I'll squat 418lbs for sure, my goal is still 200kgs(440lbs), a nice number.
Bench Press: I'm pretty nervous about this one, with this super tight shirt, I don't know shirt technique well enough yet. I could touch 120kg last week, and have pressed it out before(in a looser shirt), but it wasn't pretty. If I get the groove perfect, I know 120kg will absolutely fly, but if 120kg is the lightest weight I can touch, it's a bit risky to open on.
Tim said if I can't get 115kg to touch(253lbs) this Saturday, I might use one of his brand new size 42 shirts(As opposed to my 40 shirt). If I can touch 115kg in my shirt though, I know I can press it out, infact I think I can press 115kg raw touch and go(I'll back that up after the comp).
I guess I shouldn't be nervous as I have a backup shirt, and using the size bigger probably wont bring my bench number down much at all, as the looser shirt will technically give me less, but be easier to use, and less chance of fucking up.
I've benched 120kg before, so I have to improve on that in the comp. 125kg(275) is what I want now. Yes this is much lower than 308lbs I have in my sig, but when I learn the shirt and increase my lockout strength, my bench will improve more rapidly than my squat/dead. Plus the fact that I barely benched with a barbell the entire last year, my bench is going up. 308lbs in september.

Haha yeah Tim came in today and wanted to try something new he read about, some top bencher whose name I have completely forgotten recommended it in an article, I'll ask about it again and post a link if I remember hah! They seem like a pretty good exercise, when he described them I thought it was like a front raise, but it's not.
