Gregg came over this morning so I could help him train 18" deadlift in his Metal King Pro DL suit. I had no intention of training, only helping him out, but due to some stupidity on my part (I had mistakenly thought suits were not allowed at MD Strongest because I got it confused with another competition), I decided to train on the spur of the moment because I haven't touched my Metal Jack Pro DL suit since USS nationals back in June. Even though I would have preferred to work up to a 1RM today, I know better than to do such nonsense 3 weeks out from a competition, especially when I am already training heavyish on a day that was supposed to be recovery, not more work.
Rack Pulls
10x135
5x245
5x335
3x445 - Added suit
1x535 - Added belt
1x625
1x675 - This was the best rep I did today.
Many thanks to Gregg for helping me with my own suit and also for performing Graston on my calves and achilles tendons as well as my right wrist flexors after we finished up this morning. Dependable and helpful training partners are very hard to find and I consider myself especially fortunate to have trained with, and to be training with, the people that I have/do.
