Last Monday was my final shirt workout before the meet. The plan was to work up on a one-board, and since it was my last shirt day, I wanted to his something stupid-heavy.
Took a bunch with the bar, then went:
135 x a million
185 x 5
225 x 1
275 x 1
315 x 1
Put shirt on
405 - 3 board
495 - 2 board
585 - 1 board
Stayed on the 1 board from here on out
635 x 1
675 x 1
705 x 1
This felt good, really good.
It by no means indicates I'm capable of this weight full range, but it does mean that I'm a hell of a lot stronger in my shirt than I was a couple of months ago.
My arms and shoulders are always a mess after handling this kind of weight in the shirt, so I didn't do a ton of assistance work. I did do some static holds with the fat grips to build my deadlift grip, a few sets on the pullover machine, and some triceps rope pushdowns.
