Well, squats feel shit again. Annoying as it was starting to feel like my favourite lift a few weeks back, now my hips are constantly in pain squatting. Good timing.
Hey when’s your next competition?
Next week! Ha competing Friday

Weighed in at exactly 189 this morning, so pretty comfortable about making weight next week. 181.8 is the cut-off

Do you have a plan for the third attempts?
Loosely,
Current plan is
Squat: 210, 230, then 240
Bench: 155, 165 and then 170
Deadlift: 280, 300 then 307.5
Squat is my big uncertainty at the moment, pretty confident with attempt selection on bench and deadlift, but squat has just been feeling so shit recently
Will see how the opener moves and might have to lower my second to 220/225 with 230/235 as a third.

Are you using the noodle bar again?
Ofcourse. I’m tempted to go 310 but I only need to beat 306 to get the British all tested federations DL record which just feels pretty cool. Need to beat 315 for the all feds tested and untested.

187 this morning, couldn’t set up a water load so doing full glycogen depletion again. Good thing I like eggs.
Expect I’ll wake up another couple of lbs lighter tomorrow, then lose a few more lbs during the day as I fast, pee and sweat.
Sauna available at the hotel if I need any extra tomorrow night.
Last training session tonight.

Good luck with the meet
Weighed in at 80.5, so a bit of an overshoot there. Only back up to 86 this morning so yesterday’s eating could have been better. Game face on.
Get some
