Squat Day
Finally got the new triple ply Predators from Inzer, recently. Had a couple of my Naval Academy Team out at the house/gym destroyed their hands trying to get me set into the briefs the realization that I've only worn other people's very broken in briefs is now a reality LOL...
Even though I went up 4 sizes these damn briefs are killers. I am going to take measures to stretch and soften them I know in the long run not a great idea but I'm good with it. I really want to be able to wear them to the meet on the 22nd of May current state they are putting too much inward pressure on my knees but i'll work through that too.
Got them cranked on belt bone crushing on to keep them in place started working my smith so I could put controlled continuous pressure on them had team mates spraying the seams with water made progress.
Bar (65) X 8 X 3
Box with inch and half inch pads starting stupid high working down to just about parallel for the last two sets
155 X 6 X 2

515 X 2
565 X 2
605 X 1

Didn't use wraps only briefs and belt and mouthpiece. Feeling stronger and working hard under a lot of pressure it's catatonic time for the rest of the afternoon
This meet is really for my Naval Academy Midshipmen Team, for the seniors who've I've coached since their freshman year they really wanted to see me compete and to be able to show up and support me. This sentiment from them is inspirational and motivating the shit out of me. I have to first hit all three openers it's a must LOL then I have to show up and do something worth coming to see. We shall see.
