12 days out from the XPC 21 Deadlift Salute. Since I'm getting so close to the meet none of my other workouts have been anything too crazy. A couple of the other guys I train with are getting ready for meets as well. Josh, a long time training partner and Strength Lab Coach, hit his bench opener today, a nice easy 315 lbs. He is lifting Friday afternoon at the XPC Finals at 165.

My workout:

100 band pull aparts

barx20 135x10 225x10 275x10 315x10 345 2x2

Despite my bench feeling great and I'm pretty confident I could top my current PR of 430, I've stayed pretty conservative and kept my focus on DL Only.

Accessory work:

Face pulls 3x20 Upright Rows 3x10

My bodyweight is the lowest I've been for this close to a meet in years. I've been sitting 222-225 so it will be no problem to hit 220.

Tomorrow I will pull my DL opener which should be around 725 give or take.
