Back...Into the Deep End

Training Over 35 Lifter
764

1 week out…not that anyone is counting:)

Saturday after work: Went home, got things squared away for today’s work. Stood in the shower, then slept from 5-7pm. Ate dinner, read a bit, then went to bed by 9:30. If that’s not pre-meet rest and recovery, I don’t know what is :slight_smile:

I did work Thursday night, which was very lucrative for me: 2 full Thanksgiving dinners (with pie) at 5 and 9pm, 1 1/2 hourly wage, and a cash tip= 1 month gym fees!!! All around a very good deal. As people often do, I see $$$ as ‘what it gets me’; for people Like Us, that’s often gym fees, steaks/groceries, new training gear…you know, the Good Stuff!!

The OCD is starting to kick in now…:wink: You’re going to do great! Sounds like Thanksgiving was good to you, and that in itself is a lot to be thankful for.

766

I know, I know… watching vids, reviewing training logs before my other meets…and on and on…

I’m feeling pretty good so far; resting, recouping, eating, doing “Air Pulls” ala’ DaveB :slight_smile:

By this time next Sunday, I’ll have hit a SQ PR @ 330+, and be on my way to BE’s.

Rock On.

Sounds like a very good Thanksgiving! You are set up for another good meet with more PR’s. Rest up and kill it.

768

You too Dave!! What’s your date/time table for your meet?? Weight in, lift ect…

769

Since I have no training to post; more ‘Holiday tip’ news.

*** 2 free passes to the Zoo Lights Holiday Fantastical. It’s cool (and Cool), pretty…pretty cool.

***A son, of a resident, took an Elk at the end of our rifle season (just outside of Aspen), last week. He gave me a 3lbs. package of Ground Beast to enjoy!!! Very fresh, never frozen ect…I’ll only guess to say that it’s…$15 a lbs at a meat store??..Maybe more? I’ll just call it another $50 tip:) I’m thinking meatballs; portioned out, eaten sooner than later, so I can be “strong as Elk” for my meet.

Sounds like a plan.

Nice! I have tried Elk a few times, but never really cared for the taste of it. Maybe you know the secret ingredient to make it taste good. :smirk:

771

Nope, not really:)…just doing the standard Z-man meatballs I guess.

Now if it was rattlesnake, you’d be my go-to-gal :slight_smile:

772

Uh, that’s a negative Ghost Rider! Home girl here ain’t cookin’ no rattlesnake. My buddy and I have this discussion frequently, and he has NEVER won…lol

Well, I don’t know it that worked…let’s find out.

774

IF anyone can see the pic; here’s the quick story. At work in ‘the usual’ cargo-khaki pants, I hit my SQ stance, get reeeall tight, and barely go into a squat then…POP!!! Sounded more like a tire blowing out:) than a rip. Pretty funny. So. lockout power, and backside prowess is in effect. And no, these were not tight to begin with; I just really fill them out, when needed:)

Yes Dave, I’m into the meet for sure.

Tuesday was med. lifting, down around 180lbs from NOT lifting much volume since Friday, overall just ready to go. Numbers are all set, outfit(s) and accessories all picked out:)…
Onward and Upward.

Oooooppps! Glutes happen :wink:

776

So I’m bored, well rested, trying to keep my weight up…and ready to Rip some Iron. Just 24 hours more… :angry:

777

For the record: Numbers are all set, no changes until final attempts.

SQ: Open @ 281/ 2nd @ 314/ final @ 330,336,341.

BE: Open @ 236/ 2nd @ 259/ final @ 275, 281.

DL: Open @ 340/ 2nd @ 380/ final @ 402, 407, 413…418.

I won’t bore us all with the ‘finer points’. Suffice it to say, that “My logic is undeniable”.

***Kudos if you get that movie reference :slight_smile:

Onward and Upward

So, are we suppose to call yoi… iZman? Or what?

779

I don’t get it ?:slight_smile: Is that your movie guess??

780

Yes. I believe the reference was from iRobot?

781

Yes, very good. I see it now:). A fun little movie; I’m often told how I resemble Will Smith btw.

782

I can definitely see how that could happen. :smirk:

have an awesome meet !!
