I have met Gary Frank multiple times and he is definitely an incredible guy. You wanna know how strong he is go and shake his hand. It feels like holding a piece of steel.

Yeah thats absolutely normal. Naturally you can only recover from so much. So adding those 2 exercises could have affected your recovery. Now all 3 are trying to grow but its a very rare person that can get all 3 big lifts to improve at the same time. I have been power-lifting for 12 years...

Yeah i was there and totally got my feelings hurt watching everyone's strength levels, they were incredible to say the least.

I would have to say time will take care of this. Maybe want to adjust how you hold the bar but i cant say that for sure without seeing how you bench.

What i usually concern myself with is getting good nutrition. I try to eat plenty of fruit vegetables and have various different protein sources in my diet. I do a good job when healthy of getting about 500 grams of protein a day.

I wish he would put in a full power total and see where he stacks up with his new level of strength.

I wouldn't focus on speed with your accessory work. Just the main lifts.

I agree research your federation and they will give you the list of elite totals.
