I ran a skills assessment in competition last sunday. Only took 2 attempts in squat and deadlift as I want to keep training through. I have a big bench meet in 7 weeks, so I wanted to keep myself from pushing too hard. squat went as follows: last warm up: 330kg 1st attempt: 355kg- 2 whites, 1 red (the bar wasn't set on my back- one side hit depth the other didn't- LOL) 2nd attempt: 370kg- 3 whites- easy (5kg comp PR) 3rd- pass bench last warm up: 230kg 1st: 255kg- 3 whites- easy 2nd: 262.5- 3 whites- easy 3rd: 270- 3 whites- easy (equal comp PR) Deadlift (my first go at sumo) Last warm up: 240kg 1st: 262.5kg- 3 whites- easy 2nd: 275kg- 3 whites- easy 3rd- pass total 915kg (25kg PR) very happy with how things are going. Master Dave Bates has really worked out what works for me. If you have some videos and would like to possibly be on powerliftingwatch.com then email me the info to erictalmant@yahoo.com Great job! Eric thanks Eric I'll see if I can track down any videos. Someone was videoing my lifts- I just have to work out who.

I was at the comp and it was great to watch, staggering to see weight like that squatted and the bench seemed really, really easy.

If your 95% sq/dl is moving like that I would anticipate PBs come meet time. Was the bench raw? Ive watched it a couple of times now...it looks like just a t shirt but then it also looks like you struggle to touch it.

I always find Deadlifts around 300kg easy any thing over my grip just goes so I have really worked on grip this cycle.

Ok, what shirt was it? Didn't look familiar? What have you been implementing for grip? Fat bar stuff?

oh right ok, thats what was confusing me.
If you get chance to use a fat bar give it a go they are amazing for getting your grip stronger...i think its the best thing you can do in terms of carryover to holding onto a heavy DL. We just use an old scaffold bar at our gym with 4 pairs of collars. Works great and was free.

Yeah it's nice to know I have 15-20 years of getting stronger if I stick to it and stay injury free.
