Since this goes with the original topic I’ll post my pause squats here. Looks like I made some improvements with keeping my chest up out of the hole compared to last week. There’s also a set of block pulls in there but my camera died so I couldn’t get a side angle.

Here’s more sumo pulls. Since it was a variation I filmed some warmup sets from different angles. Tried to avoid pushing my knees out and instead pulling the bar in and pushing my hips towards it.

I did. Or as close as I could get in kgs. I went a bit heavier on my last deadlift attempt though since 315 moved really smooth.

Thank you guys! My missed bench attempt was about 150. I got stuck right off the chest like usual hahaha. It’s a number I’ve hit without a pause before. I think if I had made a 5lb jump instead of 10 I might have had it.

I think I’m comfortable with those numbers! Thank you again for all your help! I’ll probably make a forum post to let you guys know how it goes.

Yes this will be my first official meet.

Sounds like 230 is going to be my best bet. My meet is on Saturday November 30th. All my prior PRs are gym PRs. Thank you guys!

Knees out and ass back lol got it! I’ll focus on that next time I’m squatting! Next time I sumo I’ll work on locking out more with the glutes as well! Thanks!

I think I get what you mean! I’ll give that a try next time! Thanks

Unfortunately this gym only has the rounded dumbbells. Maybe next time I can try threading the bands under the bench to line it up with my bar path. I’ll definitely work on keeping my leg drive engaged through every rep. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Thank you! Next time I think I’ll use a more enclosed squat rack for band setup and I should also be able to film from the front that way.

Ok gotcha! I think I need to turn around next time and give myself more room in the rack it was a little cramped and awkward walking it out. I’ll get it next week though thanks for the feedback!
