This log is fantastic.
Real pain is failing to succeed.
Competition bench. Just like saying comp squat or comp deadlift, it’s the stance or grip you’ll use during your competition. Definitely a good question!!
Haha man you should see the way the guys in my gym look at my wife. Jaw drops lol she’s really strong and she’s just a natural. This is only her second meet prep and she will hit over 1000lb total in the 165lb weight class.

I have a thousand lbs club shirt from several years ago. If I ever see a women laugh it me over it I wouldn’t know what to say!
I thought the comp bench would be you having someone stand over you telling you when you could press. Thanks for the explanation.
I am also going to see if a wider grip helps my elbows. These logs are where it’s at. Little bits of info all through them.

Thanks man! I’m glad anyone can take away some info from this log. That’s why I’m doing it.
I actually did comp bench “with commands” is what we call it. Basically mimicking what we’ll do at the meet. Have the wife say “bench” “press” and “rack”. We try to extend the pause a little bit to prepare for a potential long pause from the judges during a meet. It’s all about preparing for worst case. Squats for instance, we ALWAYS make sure we hit depth enough so that nobody could mistake it as a high squat. We try to prepare to avoid being red lighted for simple mistakes.

Just finished a very unexpected deadlift session. Program called for singles at 635lb and moving up by 5lb each set if the weight moved well. Well I’ve been fighting being sick since Sunday so I’ll blame that. 635 just did not want to lock out again this week. So I got pissed off and said fuck it I’ll pull it conventional. SMOKED IT. Moved to 645 and nailed that for a 5lb PR. Then 655 for another PR. This is the first time I’ve conventional deadlifted since last November at my meet. I’m pretty stoked about it. I stay away from conventional bc it takes a toll on my lower back pretty quickly but I figure I can make it 3 more deadlift sessions and the meet.
Conventional deads 635x1, 645x1, 655x1
SSB good mornings 315lb for 6,6,10
Pause squats 455lb for 3,3,5
Side bends
Leg extensions
Wife was feeling really sick today so she’s skipping deads and will knock them out tomorrow.

Great accessory bench day today. Elbows feeling much better, weight is moving well and recovery seems to be increasing. I forgot how sore heavy conventional deadlifting makes me though. Sumo really distributes the soreness evenly but when I conventional deadlift my hams and posterior chain are crazy sore. I’ve missed it!
Close grip bench 355lb for 3x2
Overhead press 215lb for 6,7,10
Pulldowns 210lb for 6,6,7
Barbell rows 320lb for 8,8,10
Skullcrushers
Wife’s finished program for the week. She knocked out the last 2 workouts today like a champ bc she skipped yesterday due to being sick. Strength wasn’t all there but she didn’t miss a workout at least!

Well it’s good to be back on after that little issue. A few updates: got my giant lab free samples of hgh in and will run serum on those tomorrow after work. Placed an order with Pompeyo to try the 50iu bottles since they’re CHEAP this month on sale. Had a long and eventful weekend celebrating a friends birthday out of town. Unfortunately that limited my sleep and made mondays leg workout pretty rough. Played it safe and skipped my last set of doubles for squats.
Squats 550x2, 555x2, 560x2
Leg press 880lb for 8,8,10
Deadlifts 500lb for 3x3
Sit-ups
Ham curls

I guess I was made a VET today. Pretty stoked about that! And had a great deadlift session today. My body is BEAT. Ramping up the juice while I peak for the meet. Added in 100mg tren base and 50mg halo preworkout. It’s a great combo for sure!
Deadlifts 640lb for 2,1,1
SSB good mornings 315lb for 8,8,10
Pause squats 465lb for 2,2,3 (felt really heavy. Can tell my body is ready for a break)
Side bends
Extensions
