Didn;t like benching with the belt on at all, made me touch too low/bring my elbows in more than I like, and I was flattening my arch out as it neared my chest. Took the belt off and had much smoother press at 202.5, which was actually pretty easy. 200 would be a good second attempt

So squats didn't go exactly as planned, my old suit is a fair bit looser than the comp suit. But I'll get the straps altered again. All and all though good speed on the work sets. Set 1 of 305 felt off as I had a good 15 minute break while changing suits and getting set up

Ah..first day straps up, form was on raw and straps down, as soon as the straps went up, I went right back to old habits of trying to throw the shoulders back before the hips are through. First and second single were good, great speed on all reps. The next 3 weeks will be all straps up deads on this day in the 240-260 range for 2's and 3's to correct those mistakes.
Also going to stick with the 38 as it has looser straps than the 36 which is far too tight
