      no video because I didn’t ask someone to record me. I started with 425 X3 and they flew up. jumped to 450X3 and they felt heavy but I definitely had more in the tank. 3rd set was 460X3 and this was pretty much on the money for a RPE 9. that comes out to 86.8%. I could’ve possibly gone a little higher but I didn’t want to push it

      NEVER EVER use gear at a meet for the first time.
      EVER.

      I suggest using the ones you have been at this meet, and breaking the new ones in on the next cycle.

      Here’s what I suggest for attempts:

      1-455-Nice, easy opener
      2-485-5 lb. PR
      3-510-520-30-40 lb. PR depending on how #2 moves.
