Tonights training

Squats
10 x bar
5 x 60 kg
5 x 100 kg
3 x 140 kg
3 x 1 x 150 kg

Flat BBBP
10 x bar
5 x 60 kg
3 x 100 kg
3 x 1 x 115 kg

Deads
10 x bar
5 x 60 kg
5 x 100 kg
5 x 140 kg
3 x 180 kg
1 x 220 kg

Tonight's session was trying my openers for the British Un-Equipped on Saturday, everything was done in running shoes and a loose belt.
The squats were comfortable but could have been a little deeper, should be better in my new squat shoes.
The bench wasn't as comfortable as I would have liked and I may opt for 110 on the day.
The dead was a real struggle from 180 onwards and the planned 3 x 1 x 220 wasn't happening, 1 was hard enough. I've not eaten enough today though and I could feel myself running out of steam, I think with some food in me and my deadlift slippers and decent belt on things will be better.

04/09 GBPF British Un-Equipped

Squat
1. 150 kg
2. 160 kg
3. 172.5 kg (f)

Bench
1. 110 kg
2. 120 kg (f)
3. 120 kg (f)

Dead
1. 220 kg
2. 235 kg (f)
3. 235 kg (f)

Total 490 kg 2nd place (of 2)

Considering that I pulled out of the All England 2 weeks ago because it was too close to this comp and having had a 527.5 kg in April and a comfortable 510 kg total in July, this result is disappointing to say the least.
I'm still not sure what happened, there was just nothing there on the day.
The 172.5 squat was a decent attempt and would have been a PB.
The 120 fail on the bench is something I really don't understand, it just felt really heavy.
The 235 fail on the dead was again a decent attempt but I just couldn't straighten up with it.

Back to basics in the gym I think.
