Volume Night tapering down

Only a week and a bit until my comp lifts and the lower weights are helping out. This is one way of getting rest without losing gains.

Squats - no big deal. 140kgs was a nice weight to get some work in at but not so much as to cause much stress.

Bench Press - 100kgs is a weight that still works to make sure form is where it should be. I lost tightness on one rep from breathing out at the wrong time. Other than that all went well

Deadlifts - We decided to do some deadlifts for form work. My deadlifts still suck. I warmed up to 160kgs doing semi sumo and did 170kgs , then switched to conventional and could barely move the bar. My back still just is not what it should be. I need to get the back sorted and move on. On comp day I will warm up and see how things feel and decide how to lift on the day. I may need to stick with the semi sumo to build up strength and straighten things out.
