Trained solo today at about 9:30 am after fueling up (eggs, toast and protein shake) and caffeinating.
Close grip underhand chinups - BWX9, X7, X7.
Bent BB Rows - 205X10, X8, X10
Bent DB Rows - 85X10, X10.
Hanging Knee raises - 3 sets of 20.
Deadlifts - 320X5, 340X3, 405X5! (PR)
405X5 is a PR for me. I wore a belt for this set but nt the others. For those of you that are wondering or care I train for the "raw" division under IPF (international powerlifting federation).There are two divisions - "classic" or "raw" (same thing) or "equipped". Equipped allows assistive gear such as squat suits, bench shirts, etc... whereas the Raw division allows only a belt. I have competed in a bench shirt before, but it is a pain in the ass. It's difficult to get on and it changes the way you lift because it changes your "groove" (the bar path) so it's not natural. It does increase the amount of weight though ( I have benched 402 lbs in a meet with a shirt). I may try it again someday but for now sticking to raw lifting because it's easier and I think it's a more "real" test of strength.
Rest day tomorrow but might do something.
