Then drop to singles on 315 and 405 being sure to really pull with some speed and power. Stick at those weights doing singles until you’re happy with the speed and feeling really warmed up.Then depending on how brave you’re feeling – jump straight to the 500 or do a 450 first or something. Pull that bar up with the same speed and power that you were accustomed to using on the 405. Grip the shit out of the bar and keep pulling and don’t give up.Good luck on the next time!
