Awful deadlift session. I thought it would be best to work up after speed sets, maybe I was wrong. Maybe I need more practice in my suit. My suit was loose after my stomach bug on Monday but a wash should tighten it. Maybe I need to pull raw and forget the suit. Maybe I will compete in squat and bench only Video is below. All comments welcome. I'll edit it to add commentary when I have calmed down later in the week.

Hope to make amends with bench on Friday.

I find it really hard to keep up to date with your training at the moment, to see any sort of plan with this Cube business.

So basic question, when was the last time you pulled heavy from the floor in your suit?

Looks like you were on your toes on the heavy reps when it got to your knees.

Too long ago. Only done raw from the floor and off blocks and speed in the suit. This needs to be remedied obviously as I need more practice. Heavy week next week with doubles at 85% so will do those from the floor geared.

Yeah possibly. Thanks.

Faz raises a good point and one which I have applied to squat and bench: I need to be in my gear more often. I have 4 more training weeks to apply this to deadlifts. Hope it's enough.

Despite your self described summary of the deads as awful, I am sure there was at least some progress. Solid sntach grip deads. I can only do them with versagripps.

Your maybe benching as I write this (8:30PM England time) so I am sending some strength vibes over!
