Powerlifting Training 8/31/18 - Bench and Deadlifts

This was a two a day training day. My first workout was on the bench and it was at around 5:30AM. My second workout was in the evening at around 7PM. Both workouts were for less than an hour. They are both ideal times for me, since I bench better in the morning and my deadlifts are better in the evening.

The bench workout went well and I was able to explode well on my lifts. On the deadlifts, I was gassing out on the reps, but I got the work in. By the time I got to the accessory work, I was spent, but I had to get the volume of work in and get my upper back for the heavy lifts on the squats. I weighed in at 286lbs that day, so I'm on pace to make the 275lbs, since I'm about 5 weeks out.
