Contest prep week 9/ workout B

I need to learn to trust my knowledge. As you know, I have been dealing with some hammy issues. Deep down I knew this was a sign of overtraining. I used this week to taper off (which is normal at this time prior to a meet) but I still felt like I was gonna strain my hammy. Well, The break has done me good! Did my last deadlift workout today. MAJOR CONFIDENCE BOOSTER!! Hit my opener for 2 reps and did one more heavier set for a single that felt awesome. I now feel that 485-500 is a very realistic goal. All depends on how I feel that day but my confidence is back! I am still about 5 pounds over my weight class limit but I'll get it off.

Here's what I did today:

Deadlift- 135x5, 225x3, 315x2, 365x1, 405x1, 440x2, 460x1 (easy!)

Speed bench press- 225+80 lbs of chain x 3 reps x 9 sets (45 sec breaks, 3 different grips, all reps paused)
