These feel deep but don't look deep. I am one stiff individual.

Those looked good depth wise. 3 whites.

I havent researched that far. I gotta start looking. I wanted to get the member card in January so maybe a meet in February or March. Im not gonna go in looking for PRs. Just want to experience a meet and go 9/9.

USPA might have more options than USAPL through those months. If you go USAPL you will need to wear a mask unless they make a change in that rule soon.

Do you find a mask throws you off at all?

Shoulders and elbows are pain free today even after squatting. Mobility slowly coming in. I think the squat frequency is helping a lot. Its like built in mobility work.

I've criticized your squat depth for a couple years. This was clearly deep enough. Good job, man.

Mobility slowly coming in.

"Slowly" to you is damn near instantaneous to everyone else.

No. I took a mask and cut two layers out, it's just a mesh cloth now.

You sneaky bastard!

Deadlifts felt like shit today, probably because I havent even slept since yesterday's workout. Can judges tell the difference between having big assed legs and ramping/hitching intentionally?

Yeah, they're usually forgiving. The USAPL meet in Texas over the weekend seemed to be very generous with judgement, particularly in the deadlift. Probably best to train to the standards of the fed you are choosing to compete in.

There aren't universal standards?

This would not work in most feds, but picked up 2 whites in his meet...
