Here is the 345 bench from yesterday. Not a perfect rep, but I'll take it! Bodyweight was around 195lbs.

Conventional pulls felt heavy today but my back feels OK after feeling a twinge in my last deadlift session.

Reverse - IMPs
1/4 x 6" Grade 2 (2)
17/64 x 6.5" O1 (17 deg.)

Reverse - WOGW - Steel Shredder 11 attempts
1/4 x 6" Grade 5 (160k) - 10 deg.
1/4 x 6" Grade 5 (137k) 


Last day to make an attempt at SS11.  When I placed my order from David Horne, I didn't think I had a realistic chance at doing the 160k bolt, so only ordered one of them; I ended-up getting 3 137k bars and more of the easier ones.  I thought getting the 137k Grade 5 would be at or near my ceiling.  Being somewhat surprised that I bent the 137k last week, I made an attempt at the 160 today.  Definitely a lot harder than the 137k.  It didn't even feel like it was moving, but it turned-out to be about 10 deg.  With the initial difficulty, I knew that I had little chance at a finished bend so I pulled back and made another attempt at the 137k.  

The second bend took about 5 seconds.  Huge difference in a short period of time training reverse.  In retrospect, I should've ordered more of the 160k bars.  A few more weeks of dedicated reverse training, I think this bar would be bent fairly quickly.

Started-off the new year at 198.5lbs.  This is down about 20lbs. total over the past year, and 10-15lbs. over the past 2-3 years.  Definitely feeling better overall but overall strength is down 5-10%.  One of the top goals of the new year is going to be getting back to my numbers from the heavier weight.

Overall, I've dropped about 3 inches from my waist the past few months, which means that almost all of my PL gear is too loose now.  Despite this, the loose briefs still seem to help my hip pain and provide some assistance with breaking from the floor on sumo.  I'll probably send a few items in to get tightened-up.  Even my Rehband warm pants feel loose.

Mostly good but somewhat unplanned.  I had planned to drop a few pounds, when I hit 220, which is too heavy for me at 5'9".  But after eliminating a few unhealthy foods/drinks (brought-on by covid), and getting on a roll, the weight started to drop more rapidly.  215 became 210, then 205 ... 200 and now 197-200.  So, as much as I hate to lose strength, it is better all-around with the lower weight.  The fight now is going to be getting back to my heavier-weight numbers at the lighter bodyweight.

My hips have been feeling better overall since I started squatting in loose briefs again.  If this continues, I'll plan to up the weight some more and go with tighter stuff.
