i still think you should enter a PL comp. don't even try to really max, just do it one day instead of regular training. would be really interesting to see how much you can DL with no practice but a big squat and lots of back work.

if he does one, he should just do one event (squat, obviously, lol).

I really love "raw PL" (absolutely nothing, no belt, no wraps etc).

LBSS, check the 198 lb weight class squat record in California:

https://rawpowerlifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/CALIFORNIA-STATE-POWERLIFTING-RECORDS.pdf




Kingfish, how's your sister's marathoning/running going?

sister still running like forrest jump.

480lb at 198... interesting. there was a time not long ago that i did the 2nd 455 for the day and felt like i could have done 475 instead. i'm pretty good in guessing my near max weight for the day.

* i did not physically tire myself at work this week as i'm mostly on the documentation side of work. mostly seating town. i still needed 3 workouts just to get back to the 455. i was off on sat morning. got good sleep on sat day. sat afternoon, sunday am and pm were still "post work" weak.
* its not the muscle. IMO, the mental energy to tense the muscle is the difference here. if i'm well recovered on sleep, i can put more energy in keeping my legs as one solid unit and it always make me feel thicker.
