  • Was starting to feel the pressure at 285 (100 lb over body weight), but just reminded myself I could do 345, and pressed on.  That fixed it.  A lot of powerlifting is mental.  Knowing you capability, and reminding yourself when you forget.

  • 18 reps (+140 pts)
  • 17 reps (+130 pts)
  • 20 reps (+160 pts)
  • 18 reps (+140 pts)
  • 17 reps (+130 pts)
  • 14 reps (+101 pts)
  • 19 reps (+150 pts)
  • 13 reps (+91 pts)
  • 14 reps (+101 pts)
  • I feel powerful; so alive. Paced myself to keep the reps mostly even set to set. Alternated with squats, which started to drain me after awhile. Feel relaxed now. Peaceful.
