Was suprised today, expected to feel sore, but everything came together and I felt no pain. Warmed up raw up to two plates, then put on the briefs and Ghislain's suit and went straight to 4 plates. Got ready for it to feel heavy and was shocked when I stood up and it felt liike one plate, like nothing. 700 felt great, I was in control of the lift, I went down low and felt it was below parallel, but after seeing the video, I see that I have to go deeper still, so I will do that next week. But, I felt very good about the weight and maybe will open with this weight at the meet. 775 felt heavy like it was supposed to, started down anyway, then got scared and went up early. I haven't gotten scared for a long time, so next week, I will do the same weight again and this time I will go down low with it.
Was very happy with how everything felt today. I think some of the good feeling was Ghislain's suit lets me hold form better. Ghislain took it in tighter this week and I had trouble getting down with 5 plates. I think I may ask him to take it in a bit more still or I will just have to gain weight instead.
