Thanks gents. Survived another week. Anymore, that is an achievement.
High/low-lights of the week,
Made 3 attempts at 315# on MP day. I thought, as did Mrs. Strick, that the 1st attempt was a done deal. Then the right side drifted back and I lost it. Next 2 attempts we out of frustration and out of gas. Seeing as how that only thing I succeeded at was getting pissed off, I will be pounding my head against the wall for a few workouts. My body can either press the damned weight or prepare to hurt like hell from trying.
I did manage a Kroc PR today…130x30. Nothing that will make headlines, but not a bad end to a stressful, non-stop week.
Not sure what to do Sunday. If I am still pissed about the 405# bench and 315# walls, I might just push it. Of course, what I should do is go medium and be ready to push MP on Wednesday. But we all know better than that.
Felt really sore and beat up today. I am attributing it to 3 failed MP attempts at 315# and the Krocs PR. Even though, it wasn’t a bad day for strength. Fatigue was the enemy today.

That’s it. Two days after then banging my head against the MP wall again.
Quick catch up. Decided to “deload” this week. Too many weeks of head vs. wall.
Not youe typical deload, mind you. More of a just avoid anything near maximal weight, deload.

OG, it’s all I got. I don’t have any gorilla walks, Klokov’s, slosh pipes, etc… I am a one trick pony…lol.
Things at work do seem to be getting better. It is a good time of the year for it as well.
Dear ol’ dad is coming out for a visit, next week. He’ll get to watch my youngest play football! BTW…my youngest has finally started to catch on. He was in on 4 tackles in a row the other day. Tears of pride and joy for him “getting it” and realizing that he got it.
