Squat: wore the M blue singlet, tightness seemed to help the hip. I am pretty sure this is the heaviest Raw training squat I have hit in a very long time, definitely the most since Nationals in May.
75x5
125x2
165x2
195, 210, 225, 240
Bench Press: Long pauses on 192.5, should be a comfortable opener at the meet.
75x8(2)
125x5
165x2
185
192.5(3)
175x5
Deadlift: Did something to my right shoulder so stopped there. Not feeling terrible but not great. Should have taken 255 as planned.

Bench Press: 202.5 should be a confident 2nd, even with a weight cut.
50x15
110x7
135x3
165, 185, 197.5, 202.5
180x5
Band work for upper back and elbows
SSB - 175x5, 285x3(3), 175x5(2)
BSS x BW for a lot of reps, extra on right side

Squat: Not bad, 247.5 should be a solid 2nd attempt for the BW PR. 230, 247.5, 252.5-260 should be the range.
75x3(3)
125x2
150, 175, 195, 215, 232.5, 247.5
Bench Press: Went for 2 at 200 and clipped the rack on the way up on the 2nd. 202.5 will be a good 2nd attempt for the all time meet PR.
50x12
100x6
135x3
165, 187.5
200x1+x
183x5, PR
Deadlift: Will probably open around 250-260 range and go from there, 282.5 would be a meet PR at 105, hoping to take that as a 2nd, but this was an RPE 9.5+.

Hit Bench and light SSB and Deadlift on Thursday 11/14
2024 Powerlifting America TopShelf Takeover
-Weight: 105
-Squat: 227.5, 247.5, 255, 10kg PR @ 105
-Bench: 190, 202.5, 207.5x, 20kg PR @ 105
-Deadlift: 245, 267.5, 285, 3.8kg PR @ 105
-Total: 742.5, +50kg @ 105
GL/Age - 91.672/93.506, DOTS - 447.79/456.755
Age multiplier, makes this is my all time best Raw meet.
Squat: After all of the issues with the right leg, squat ended up being OK. Would have been happy with anything over 245. 247.5 felt good enough to take a 3rd. 9 WLs
75x5(2)
125x3
175, 210
227.5, 247.5, 255
Bench Press: Right pec and shoulder were not feeling great, upper left back was a little tight too. Probably should have gone 187.5, 197.5, 205...but wanted to get that 2.5 meet PR out of the way. 207.5 was sort of locked out, but there was up and down and butt lift, glad the refs didn't give me home cooking on that one.
75x8
105x5
125, 145, 160, 175
190, 202.5, 207.5x
Deadlift: Hip was annoying during warmups so I took my opener down from 257.5 to 245. Would have had to hit 300 for an all time non age DOTS PR, didn't feel like potentially missing a lift or hurting the hip more (feels pretty good Monday AM) so just went with a conservative 22.5 and 17.5 jump to land at 285. Only needed 282.5 for a BW PR, but one of the young bucks pulled 282.5 so I had to load the extra 2.5, never in doubt.
145x3(2)
175, 200, 225
245, 267.5, 285
Total won't be high enough to get a potential prime time slot at age nationals so will most likely do Open Nationals in April.

Didn't miss any main training over break, some accessories were missed.
Notes: curls and lat raises should be done every training day, 3 sets of decline situps 2-3 times a week, long warmup for squat = better squat session
