Squats actually felt half decent for the first time in a while. Bench press didn't feel too good today but still got the reps done. Top single was a struggle mind you. Deadlifts felt OK on the set of 5.

Squats felt pretty strong today which is positive. Bench also strong today. Pretty sure that I'm going to open on 142.5kg now. By the time I got to block pulls, I was pretty fatigued but managed to struggle up the reps. Just 2 weeks until I compete now.

Squats felt good today. Nice to get a high bar rep pb and the single was alright as well. Bench went a bit tits up today. I was meant to double 147.5kg but the first rep was very slow so tried to touch and go the second but it wasn't there today. Sets of 5 were hard. 17" deadlifts were a real struggle today. Had to take a bit of time inbetween each rep to make sure I made them all.

Squats and bench ok today. Deficit deadlifts were a bit harder but still not quite 100% effort. I reckon as maxes, I would be able to add 10kg to my 1 rep and 3 rep pb's respectively.

Squats felt good tonight considering that they were equal pb's. Still undecided on my opener for the comp, going to be 215-220kg. Bench felt good this evening. The way 150kg came up, suggests that I should aim for 155kg at the comp in 9 days time.

Squats and bench both fine. On SLDL's I still felt as though I was half asleep when doing them. The two top sets weren't too bad considering how I was feeling. Looking good for me in the deadlift at the commonwealths though seeing as my all time pb for a set of 5 on SLDL's is 210kg.

So, just before the closing banquet starts would seem an appropriate time to do a write up of the comp. Got here on Sunday but didn't lift until Friday. Over that time my weight came down a lot more than it should've done. Infact it was the lightest I've ever weighed in at for any meet at 117.84kg. I was lifting at 9am local time in the second flight with some absolute monsters, with the likes of Kelly Branton just centimetres away from setting a new world record total. His 410kg squat is by far the greatest lift I've ever seen in person. Anyway, I set my openers at 217.5/140/237.5.

Squats

Warm up:

70 x 3
120
170
200

First attempt - 217.5kg: Due to the strict judging I absolutely buried this one. Probably the best lift I did all day. 3 whites.

Second attempt - 227.5kg: Sunk this one like I did the first attempt. It felt pretty hard coming up. I've since seen the video of the lift and it didn't look to bad actually. 3 whites.

Third attempt- 235kg: I originally wanted to attempt 237.5kg but the previous lift made me think that it would be just too heavy today. This was an excellent call as it was a huge grind coming back up. 3 whites.

Bench press

Warm up:

Bar x 12
60 x 3
At this point my shoulder started playing up
100
120
135

First attempt - 140kg: This felt pretty hard but it came up ok so could progress as planned. 3 whites.

Second attempt - 147.5kg: Planned second attempt but my god it was hard. Left shoulder played up on this lift so I had to just get it up anyway I could. 3 whites.

Third attempt - 150kg: With a healthy shoulder I reckon I would've been good for a 155kg bench but it wasn't healthy so I just took what I could. Good call for the small weight increase as there was no more there today. 3 whites.

Deadlifts

120
170
220

First attempt - 237.5kg: This didn't feel too bad coming up. 3 whites.

Second attempt- 255kg: This was much harder than I was hoping it would be. It still came up though. 3 whites.

Third attempt - 267.5kg: I picked this weight rather than 272.5kg as I didn't have much energy left and it was the lightest weight that I would've been satisfied with making. In the end I just couldn't muster the strength to finish it off. A real shame as it would've been good to finish with an all time pb deadlift and total. 3 reds.

Total: 640@117.84

8/9

Just leaves me to say congratulations to Phil Brougham who took all 4 gold medals. Pretty sweet to finish with 4 silvers on my part though. Also, a big thanks to Tom for the programming. Had the comp been in England under perfect conditions I reckon I could've done 237.5/155/272.5 but I didn't have that luxury. Thanks to the coaches for helping in the warm up room. I'm now going to enjoy being in my luxury apartment until tomorrow as I then head to Banff at midnight on Monday on a 16 hour coach journey to go skiing and staying in a party hostel which should be a good laugh.

Thank you gents. Given the circumstances, it was the best I could do so I'm happy in that regard. Always something to work on. Some photos and videos from my trip so far on my Instagram @corbinpl.
