Sorry about the absence lol, anyways totaled 1,526lbs back in December via 556/391/578 an qualified for nationals with a class 1 total. Also placed second in the men's open division.

As of today I'm mostly focusing on school while still training. Haven't picked out another competition to do as of yet. My YT page has been updated a bit with newer videos feel free to sub and like. This vid is an accessory day from yesterday.

glad you're back. question: given your meet lifts, your working weights seem kind of low, at least for the rep ranges you're working in. like 365 x 6 is a strong squat but it wouldn't make me think you could squat 556. same for bench with 285 x 3 for working sets with a 391 max. and yet on that squat set it looks like you are decently challenged by the weight. what changed, or are you just some kind of 1RM monster who can't rep out to save his life?

You're correct on me low balling some of my best numbers, some of the problem was injuring myself back in February pulling 435 x 8 from a 1" deficit I tweaked something in my back and couldn't squat or deadlift heavy for about 2 months. My competition lifts was after a peaking phase in my training, the squat was in wraps and the wraps I use when castes hard enough gives me around 40-50lbs on my squat I just compete in a class that allows wraps (classic raw). My best lifts going in to December was a 525 squat, 365 x 3 bench, and a 525 deadlift for 3 reps. Coming in peaked I hit the 556 squat, 391 bench, 578 pull and I actually surprised myself there considering those numbers were uncharted terroritory for myself.

If I was to estimate my stats right now I'd say I'm at a 450-485 raw squat w/o wraps, a 350 touch n go bench and a high 4 to low 5 deadlift. Overall I'd say it will be a few months before I'm getting back close to those old numbers lol!
