Thanks everyone.

Shoulder is not great. I'm going to lay off the barbell presses for a while. Both knees and lower back are squawking too.

Didn't lift today and I might take tomorrow off as well.


Here's the 315 attempt; you can see my right shoulder just gave up on me:



And here's my squat opener. You can see me look up and notice the hooks were in and not out. I should have stopped. And I barely got the thing racked without smashing my hands. You can see me telling them I need them out right at the end of the vid. As I said; lesson learned.

Those are some great lifts! Your squat PR was smooth.

As a first-time, is there any advice/suggestions that you have that soon-to-be first-timers like me should consider? Something that may not be emphasized or often stated?

One of my concerns is event day nutrition (and balancing how much to eat and how often), and your mention of the delay between bench and deadlifts caught my eye.

My squat and dead were good enough for a couple of records:
