I don't know. I want to know, but I don't. I don't really have a clue what I can squat pushed to the max in either apparel at the moment. All we can go off are my PB's which both leave a fair bit of room for improvement, of 325kg in wraps and 285kg in sleeves. But the 325 was in a monolift so that probably means something as well. I've not been over 310kg with a walkout, but I probably could. It's all very tricky to draw a comparison. I haven't pushed my squat in sleeves because I was focussing on doing well in wraps, but I will push it now and see where it ends up, hoping for something over 300! Then I'll build up to another peak in wraps, however I will be stronger when I get there so once again it won't be that comparable.
f**k it, I reckon between 20 and 30kg.


I want to see 300 no belt no wraps!

Anything worth squatting would have have been unacceptably painful today so just did some deads from blocks and rested the overused squat joints.

Deadlift - About 13.5"

60
100
140
180
220
260
300
320kg x 2 - These moved really well. Feel much better for doing this.

Finished with some upperback bodybuilding type stuff.

Tomorrow should be better Happy

Yes I suppose I should!

I just got emailed by powerliftingwatch to tell me I made the top 20 all time best raw total list under 100kg, in 16th place, tied with a few others at 13th though. I'm pretty pleased with this for my first comp at 100kg. So I suppose my next target will be to crack the top 10 and then keep working my way up.
