That was what I was thinking. This is also something I need to keep working on. Elbows straight down.
Also, bottom position. It looks like you are hitting good depth, but at the expense of some butt wink. Keep that pelvis position locked at the bottom. That is what I messed up and hurt my back a couple weeks ago. Keep working! I wish I had a rack at home.

Nice incline pressing Evan:thumb: I think incline is hands down my worst lift as of now:rofl:
Last de-load before Pr smashing time
These felt so much better than my squat and bench de-load... Hopefully I was still getting over my cold, or next week could be the end of me
Deadlifts
375x5x4
Curls for the girls
multiple sets of dumbell and cable stuff, boring...
Decided must have more pain
straight leg 3" deficit Deads
215x4x10 speed pulls
Weighted decline abs
45x20x2
45x15x2
I'm smoked

What are you going to attempt for a deadlift PR??
My dead goal is 500+ conventional, I should hit that no problem at my meet on may 2nd. Then I'm switching to sumo. I have a bad lower back thanks to racing motocross, so the sumo should take some of the pressure off.
I found out that the 2 state record holders for the 40+ 205 class are going to be at this meet in may... I'm super motivated to do well may 2nd:thumb: I'm a competitive sob

That is something I think is so cool about powerlifting as a sport; you can do it for decades. In fact, it takes that long to build serious power. Weightlifting and powerlifting are about the only sports out there that are that way. Besides golf or shuffleboard or some oldtimer sport like that...

Nice! Can't wait! I'm sure you'll be part of the 500 club in no time! Be nice to set a couple records too ! My goals for my first meet in September are 225-230BW
325 bench
475 squat
585 deadlift
I'm no where near my peak which is kinda nice, gives me something to keep working towards. My friend Ben is 77 and still squats well over 300+ pounds at 165
Mick told me he didn't hit his best numbers until his mid 40's, I think Coan was the same. So their is hope for meThose are some nice numbers. Any questions about meet prep. just ask.
Thanks! im sure ill have tons when it times come to actually set my openers!
Is everyone on here natural or is anyone running gear?
Can't speak for the others but I'm natural. USAPL is a drug tested fed. What fed. were you lifting in again?
Natural as well, im lifting in OPA, we have a lot more stupid rules than you guys do, I wish we had the same rules as USAPL
Natural but not doing impressive weight yet lol. Gonna try to pyramid up over 405 on deads Tuesday. Then the following week maybe do some heavy 5x5 then lighten it up again and go high. My squat is feeling good now that my dead weight is going up and I've been squatting narrower. So i hope my bench goes up I've been stuck on my sets on bench a while now, now that my core strength is going up.
Any of you guys using wireless ear buds? I'm thinking about getting some after I chopped my beats cord in my lever belt a couple weeks ago. I don't like the ear muffs so buds only.
I've been thinking about getting a set of Bluetooth beats, but I don't want to fork out the $$ my set I have now are about worn out.. I can't do earbuds at my gym, they play pop music to loud..
You will love them Nick, good choice:thumb: Did you go down 1/2 size from your running/training shoe?
