Eric Lilliebridge – 455kgs/1,003.1lbs Raw Squat w/ wraps 3-14-15

Worked on some heavy singles for this squat training session. I was planning on taking around 450kg for a single, but my warm ups were feeling good so I went a little bit heavier than I had planned. 455kg felt good, speed felt consistent between my last heavy single to my top set. I still have one more heavy squat training session before my meet. Currently 5 weeks out from UPA Nationals on April 18th.

Eric Lilliebridge – 440kg/970lbs x 2 Raw Squat w/ wraps PR

Today was my 2nd heavy squat session for my meet prep. I pushed my squats a little harder this session and went for a PR for a double. My best before for a double was 960lbs. So this was a small 10lb PR, but felt like I could have done another 10-15lbs for 2 reps. Also, our gym recently got some used Ivanko kilo plates, so all of my training from now until the meet will be with those plates. I want everything to be as close as possible to the same equipment and everything that will be used at the meet so I can use that to my advantage come meet day.

Eric Lilliebridge – 525lbs x 2 Raw Bench Paused PR

This was my 2nd heavy bench session for my meet prep training for UPA Nationals in April. Worked up to a top set of 525lbs for a double paused, which was a PR for me. I did an additional single with 525 again afterwards just to get some extra practice in with my form and technique. So far my meet prep training is right on track and everything is going according to plan.

Eric Lilliebridge – Meet Prep Deadlift Training – 860lbs/390kg x1x2

This was my first heavy Deadlift training session for this training cycle. I haven’t Deadlifted heavy at all since my meet 3 weeks ago. So I gave myself a nice long de load on my Deadlifts after my meet. Everything felt really good for this training session. I felt fresh and ready to start going heavy again. I had planned on doing 860lbs for just one single, but I didn’t feel tired or fatigued after the first single, so I pulled it for another one which felt about the same as the first one. This is by far the strongest my Deadlift has felt starting out a meet prep training cycle. I think 410kg is definitely well within my reach for my meet in April.
