Competition Phase / Week 1 to USAPL Men's Nationals

Monday
Squat - Bar x 6 x 2 sets; 165 x 6 x 2 sets; 231 x 5; 319 x 5; 385 x 4. Put on squat suit - (straps down/no wraps) 457 x 3; 545 x 3; (straps down/wraps) 633 x 2 x 3.
NOTES: First things first. My pec held up nicely throughout the whole workout so I think I am going to be okay! My squat workout felt pretty good. I fell forward on the second rep of my first set with 633 but hit the other two sets nicely right at parallel. For the Aggie Invitational my first week of the competiton phase was 585 so I am pleased with this effort.
Bench Press - Bar x 20; 135 x 8 x 2 sets; 225 x 5; 275 x 4. Put on Super Katana - 405 x 3; 495 x 3; 585 x 2; 585 x 2 to 3board; 635 x 2 to 2board; 660 x 2 to 2 board.
NOTES: 660 was WAY heavier that I planned on going this first week back in the shirt but I am going to work hard to get this Super Katana dialed in. I will train the last few weeks before Nationals in my regular Katana if I can't get this shirt to work. Bottom line is I am going after that IPF M1 275 Full Meet World Record of 639!

Wednesday
Bench Press - Bar x 20; 123 x 8; 165 x 8; 231 x 5; 275 x 3 x 2 sets; 275 x 3 x 4 sets (3-board); 380 x 3 (3-board); 385 x 3 (3-board)
