Also, I’m sure hard mode is super hard for some fights. I’ve done some in Normal that are super hard

So I come to the interest groups to post about SSBU and what do I find? A thread about it already exists with 2 of my favorite people ever involved! Let’s plan a Smash party y’all!!! @Annamika @SilentTheGray @anyoneelsewhowantstoparticipate

Gym is technically closed and meet was canceled, just like everyone else’s. Meet was supposed to be today. Luckily I was able to get into the gym for a couple hours to do a mock meet. Had a great prep and came into today feeling awesome. Meet goals were 550/375/500(all weight in pounds). Had a great day and went 9/9: 580/375/502. Squat Attempt 1: 505 Attempt 2: 530 Attempt 3: 550 (first video) 550 moved super so I kept going and hit 580 (second video) Bench Attempt 1: 319.5 Attempt 2: 344 Attempt 3: 375 (3rd video) Probably left about 10 pounds on the table here Deadlift Attempt 1: 455 Attempt 2: 485 Attempt 3: 502.5 (fourth video) Again I definitely left weight on the table here but was running short on time. Overall today felt amazing and I’m really happy with how my meet went. My coach did an amazing job getting ready for this meet and I can’t thank him enough. I’m bummed it wasn’t official and it won’t be recorded but not much I can do about it. Time to start thinking about the next meet in October.

@funBox check this out since we were talking about lifting last week

Hey friends. I’m coming to the end of the peak for my first powerlifting meet on 3/21. Today was my last heavy squat and heavy pull until the meet. Squat was at 515lbs and RPE 8. Deadlift was 470lbs at an RPE of 8 as well. Bench on Wednesday! Meet goals are 550 squat/375 bench/500 deadlift. FullSizeRender.mov FullSizeRender.mov

Here’s a video of one of my squat sets from today’s session. 5x5 at 415# FullSizeRender.mov

I’m not much of a runner (done a few 5ks but they feel like death for me ) but I do lift 4 days a week. I have a powerlifting coach who does all my programming, including nutrition. I’m currently on week 3 of my 12 week meet prep, culminating in my first meet on 3/21!
