You don’t want to know.

I was so hungry today because after my lifting session at 0600 I had wrestling practice from 0830-1000. After practice we boarded a bus and went to some pansy gym where we proceeded to basically do a never-ending barbell complex from 1100-1200. Think I deserved the food I ate. Whatever, probably recovery workouts today/tomorrow because I don’t have practice. Back on diet tomorrow as well.

Was supposed to be an off day but didn’t feel like doing nothing was productive so did:
2 Mins prowler walking pull/ sprinting pull. Didn’t matter what I was doing as long as I pulled it for 2 minutes. Had #35s on and rested 30s between gos and did 5 gos.

You’re a year younger than me, so I’ll be following.

I just wanted to chime in that I have been following along since the start of this log actually. Best of luck with the tournament this saturday. Hopefully your training will pay off! Are you going to train like monday, tuesday and light on thursday to be ready for saturday? Probably not a bad setup.

Glad to have you. You got a log going? Throw the link in here if you do I’ve seen some of your questions around so I’d be interested in following you.

Not sure to be honest. Was going to try Monday Wednesday Friday and just combine Bench+Squat into Friday. But the setup you suggested wouldn’t be terrible either. Might just do it the MWF way because I have to come down a little bit for saturday morning weigh-ins yet. The Friday session would help me lose some water weight earlier in the day which would allow me to drink/eat a bit more throughout the day.

And thanks for the good wishes, we’ll see how it goes lol. I’m not the best wrestler but I know I’m outworking my opponent and thats what makes me strong.

On a personal side note, feeling shit today. I just want wrestling to be over already. I’m really considering leaving to just lift because thats where my future is, not wrestling.

Sorry you feeling shitty. You would feel better if you stopped eating like a bird and starting eating properly. You could continue wrestling but based on the pictures you posted you are wayyyyyy too light at your current weight class. You won’t be competitive until you thicken out to 170 ish I would bet. Just my 0.02 but frankly lifting is better than wrestling :wink: hahaha I wrestled in my young days a bit actually. Lifting is way more fun IMO because it’s so straightforward to evaluate progress. And who doesn’t like frightening people at the gym with your 28 inch thighs?
