Meet Prep

Deads
5x135,225,315
3x365,405
1x455,510,565 (this was a good lift for me as I pulled "from the floor" vs. my usual "dive bomb" technique. This is the most I have pulled non-dive bomb).
The 565 was pretty smooth so I did something I don't usually do and went for a PR.
0x625 (I also pulled this from the floor. I got it 1/2 way up my shins and realized it was too far out and just dropped it. Had it been a meet I would have fought it with my back and tried to bring it back in but that's only worth the risk when it matters. I was pretty happy with this as just the fact it came off the floor put me in the right mindset for the meet.

Press
5xbar,95,135
3x165,185
1x215,225
The 225 felt incredibly heavy so I called it there.

We have our annual 7:30am Thanksgiving Conditioning Fest at the gym in the morning. This usually consists of a lot of Prowler and sled trip. I will be sandbagging as I don't want to mess myself up a week out from the meet.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
