I was very unsure of how today was going to go, my legs were still very sore from Monday and just were still unlocking when I walked upon occasion after warming up things got better and I was hoping for 365x7 for my dead lifts but am very happy with the 5 that is a P/r for sure as I have never repped that much weight before.

Looks like you are ramping up nicely to the meet.

Thanks Joe, I have been worried about how to ramp up to the meet as far as programing and then I laid out my attempts and realized that meeting my 1000 lb total goal should be easily acheivable so I just started my 5/3/1 for powerlifting cycle and am not going to sweat it. I’m fairly convinced that Jim Wendler has a clue so I’m just going to roll with it.

Why the hell!? are you doing rep PR’s this close to your Meet???

I think its because I am a hard headed stuipd dumb ass who thinks every single training session has to be 150% effort. I knew that I should have only done 5 as was perscribed but my dumbass just would not stop…

funny thing is I looked up what I had to do for a p/r on bench tommorrow as I am doing 200 lb bench press and was planning on trying to best my 12 rep record to a 15 rep record…

Could not get dawg out of my head when I laid down for then Bench press. I really wanted to go for a rep p/r but did not want to take another scolding

I’m trying to back away from always trying to max these days, which is a bit different than going for rep PRs. Does seem like an interesting approach to be repping away with a meet close. But who knows?

Something did not feel right today form felt off and I just wasnt motivated. I guess it was a good thing since I cant figure out how to keep my reps in check. The meet is getting close and I am super excited just hoping I have a great day and not a so so day when the time comes.

Walk in like you own the place and take your 1100lb mark. Set your mind and do it, don’t worry about what kind of day you’ll have.

Sorry, just trying to help keep you positive, you got this!

You are going to have a blast.

I think I understand. Sometimes I get so frustrated I end up pushing a lot more than I should. That’s the nice thing about my Sheiko routine, it wears me out so much I can’t do stupid things.

work was overly busy last week so no work outs.

All singles were paused off the chest for long enough that my not stupid lifting partner thought I got stapled.

then bent over rows and I was out of there, got 5.5 hours of sleep today and just couldnt get the fog out of my head.

When are you going to taper off?

I kind of am, I cut almost all accessory work and really haven’t been in the gym much. My confidence is low right now so I wanted to work up to second attempts. I know the 260 was a final attempt but I mentally needed it.

well unless I talk myself out of it, it looks like I will be boxing again on the 22nd of November. Its just 3 1 minute rounds so conditioning shouldn’t be to bad. Sometimes I wonder why I do these things… More to follow

OK so its official I am going to box November 22nd. The other guy competes at a national level in the fireman games so hes in good shape. Bonus for me he was stopped in the second round last year in a charity match just like this one. Weight training will continue hitting prescribed reps and there will be a influx of cardio. No change this week though one thing at a time.
