Lol, I was trying to say change up the reps or the weight so that you feel like your getting more out of the squats, and i was soon that i really don't do the assistance work. sorry for the confusion.

You noticed that I did add a rep and another 3 sets plus dropping some of the assistance.

Well dag-nabbit I tore a callous on the 540 pull or I was going to go for a double at 555 but I could feel my grip wasn't the best to bother and risk further damage.

I'm hoping so. Putting in a bunch more time with my form these days trying to ramp my back more to make my lockout easier. Seems to be working.

I'm focusing on the same modification myself. The stronger my squat gets the easier it becomes for me to maintain a more classic position with the heavier weights.

In the past I almost did a SLDL; super fast to my knees then a pain to lockout. This feels really slow for me but I'm locking everything out easy.

Changed up the programming again to get more work with the main barbell exercise and to drop the paused squats this close to competition. If I don't it takes a while to shift gears.

Resetting my deadlift and squatting for the Lifters Radio comp and seminar where I'll be using an Okie bar and wraps. First thought about going to the Okie today I think I may be better suited to pulling with a stiff bar. My hand also held up where I tore the callous off last week until my 545 set. I threw on straps for 565 but it just threw me out of position.

Sorry about the hand, have you tried super gluing over the tear? It can help a bit

The callous came right off last week. Filed and trimmed things up and thought I was good but it was a little thick above and started to pull away too. I'll soak it with carbolic salve for the next couple of days and will be ready to hit er again.

Did you use a double overhand grip with the straps, and hence the poor position?

Yep. Used to be better but I haven't used them in ages so with a higher percentage pull it was enough to throw me off I think. That and going back to the Okie bar.

Well I'm still feeling run down. Popped a bunch of ibuprofen, a pre-workout, and some coffee and got cleared right up. Hit what I wanted for my main bench work pretty clean other than when my foot slipped a bit and my back slid up the bench a bit.

Went to do my 85% down sets and nope. It's not there. I must've used up all of my chemical goodness for this workout. Figured I'd just do a couple high rep set rows with 135, sat down and filled my mouth with puke. Must not be feeling 100% haha!

Take er easy and kill the next one.

Getting used to using wraps again. Little different groove as they're trying to toss me forward. So far feel just as strong with my TK sleeves. It'll take a couple of workouts to get used to them and optimise them.

First time with my hip squat belt. My legs feel like balloons haha!
