9 weeks out from RPS Meet in September at Rivercity Barbell. I weighed in fully clothed at 225 and hit a surprisingly easy 5 lb squat PR of 655lbs. Then again, in the past year I've only done 2 Deadlift only meets and 0 full power meets, so a squat PR should be a given.

I squatted with Ted Toalston and Steve Diel, who were both in full gear and planning on working up to nearly 900 lbs. So, I was hoping to attempt to keep up close to their warm up weights as long as possible.

Squats: (Raw)

Bar x10 -(60lbs) 1 plate x5 2 plates x5 3 plates x 3 4 plates x3 470x2 510x1 - Maverick Knee Wraps on 560x1 with wraps 600 x1 w wraps 655x1 w wraps

I use the Mavericks to train in and will warm up with them in the meet, but I will compete in either the Krait or the Super Heavy Wraps. So, this gives me some real confidence moving forward.

Deadlifts: 3 elitefts orange bands per side, from a 1.5 inch deficit

225x1 315x1 365x1 415x1x3 sets 465x1
