Those pin presses should help. Pendlay numbers also looking good.

Thanks Jim! You best hurry cause I feel 305 pretty soon!! I think my accessory work is finally helping me out a little

I need to get my Pendlay back up to around 2pps. That's where I was when I was making good progress on my deads!

Thanks Josh! I feel like my upper body was a little fatigued from heavy bench the day before causing my PC miss! Haven't missed one of those in a long time!

If you guys are right I'm screwed lol!! I think I may be at the weight where a good belt will give me that little boost of confidence!
