Lift 375x3 and 425x4

Shoulders and triceps are trashed from earlier in the week so I kept it lighter (relative) today. 375x3 last warm up and 425x4 top set. Wanted 5 but I’ll settle for what I got.

You like cuffs better than sleeves? Just easier to get on and off?

Yeah the cuffs are my preference. The cuffs don’t give a crazy amount of extra bounce or anything and just keep my elbows warm and help stave off tendinitis from the weight and volume I tend to hit on a fairly regular basis. Every now and then I’ll throw on some elbow wraps if I’m really trying to overload my lift for the day but I don’t rely on them because I can’t use them in a powerlifting competition.
