I did less of a warmup. Which hurt me. I felt ok i aint complaining i just need reps to get ready. so did the following
light warmups 225 and under for lots of sets
315x 8
405x5
455x1
500x1
shirted up new loose shirt.
500x1
545x1
575x1
mdium shirt
615x1 fast rep about 1inch above chest
625x1 fast and strong less then 1 inch above chest. It will touch
I was scared that with the medium shirt 625 would be pushing it. But it felt good and i can touch it.
My loose shirt will not let me get 600 in it. (maybe but i doubt it at this time). My grandparents are coming to St Pete to watch for the first time ever. I wanna let them see me win. So i will use the loose shirt and open an easy, safe 570lbs. This shirt doesnt give me much off the bottom. So anymore and i will push it.
But if i miss my first will waste no more time with this shirt and go straight to 615 then 625 for a third. If i get the 625 on my 3rd, i then will put the tight shirt on and go for the APA world record and try 660lbs. record is 655. But only if i get the 3rd.
I will let Grimmer tell you about his lifts tonight. But i will say there were strong and fast. He is gonna be very happy in St Pete. And he will also bench alot one day. He has the tools he just need the time. Watching him get ready and his style on the bench he looks like a pro already!
