a little high on the first rep better on the second. 430x2 is a 1 rep pr over my last time I did 430.
did some more squats and ham work.
PR Time baby! Nice work.
yes sir!
CG 3 board 2x4 275lbs
other shoulder and triceps shit
elbow was so so today. Had to get in and out quick due to the storm.
worked some good overtime, will probably have to deadlift wednesday.
I don’t remember your eccentric being that fast, holy crap.
Pretty sure I’m doing Hagerstown, as a 242.
yea im going to get my money order and print out the form this weekend
bench paused (well sorta) 315x2 (pr) well the second rep wasnt paused for very long. the game plan called for 310 but who wants to put all those dimes, nickles, and chips on the bar.
explosive bench, wides, db, upper back and abs.
squats 445x2 PR smashed it even though I felt like straight ass today. Squats are feeling real strong right now!
more squatting and ass work
excited to see if I can get over 500
deadlift up to 495 this was good as expected I have been kind of slacking with this so I am not expecting a huge dealift at the meet.
back stuff
very busy week hard to get everything I wanted in. Deload coming up
Life news for me, I am growing a mustache in November for Mens health.

thats the link to my teams page. Donate if you want if not its all good but I will be avoiding play grounds for the next month due to my mustache
deload day and still elbow weirdness
bench 2x5
other bullshit
Although I have less pain it feels like something is out of place in my inner elbow. Like my tendon is moving or something. Treating it everyday but its annoying that it is still here.
more deloading nothing special just getting ready to really ramp up the poundage these next few weeks
extra ab work today because my core sucks and is probably going to hold me back. elbow is still a little jacked but getting better each day.
Basically I have 2 heavy workouts left. I am going to do doubles with bench today and singles next week. This has pretty much been an abbreviated training cycle so I dont expect miracles. Here are my planned openers and goals now that I am close.
Squat 450
Bench 297
Deadlift 500
Squat goal is 500 and I dont want to settle for less. Bench goal is depending on my elbow. I am going to do 310 for a paused double today and access. But I would like 325ish. Deadlift is kind of up in the air 520-550 would be fine. I definatly have not had a great deadlift training cycle but I will grip it and rip it.
The closer I get to 1400 the happier I will be.
ready for some awesome
ok so today did not go well and I dont know why and I am not sure I want to at this point.
Benching paused 280x2 305x0 yup big fat miss. Not tight bar path sucked. fuck it.
not so explosive benching 265x3 for 4 sets
illegal wides 235x6
3 board, 285x1, 305x1, 320x1 (smoked)
and dont ask me how in the world I smoke a 320 3 board after missing 305 at the 2-3 board height…
I am off to eat a cheesesteak, drink some cheap beer, and put on shitty 80’s music on the local bars jukebox.
Dont get bummed out…I missed most of my big lifts in the couple weeks leading up to my meet, and ended up setting a 40 pound meet PR. That’s why its called a fucking prep/taper. You beat yourself up, make sure the wheels dont fall off (but close to it), rest and eat, and then SFW…you will be fine
Also, sweet stache…definitely worthy of Americas Most Wanted. I did Movember for the past 2 yeras but bailed out this year because mine just looks so terrible it really can’t do anything positive for the movement.
yea well I would rather have my bad day now I guess. I also weighed myself because I am freaking out about this shit (even though I shouldnt) and I magically lost 4 pounds in 3 days…Need to eat a lot more! O.K. I am getting off the internet and getting some food.
And my mustache is blonde…I cant go near schools right now for fear that Baltimore City Police will whoop my ass for thinking I may be a creeper. This is my last Movember for sure.
squats and a much better day. I am thankful for gatorade for its rehydrating properties after a night of drinking.
squats 430x1, 475x1 ties my pr and I have some more in me
walkout holds 495 for 10 sec
explosive squat 390 for 3 sets of 2
oly paused squat 335x2 sets of 2
one leg deads, curls, clam shells, one leg glute raise and abs
off for the family thanksgiving. Will be loading up on food.
close grip 2 board 250x2, 280x2 290x2
ohp, bent over fly, french press, I’s, t’s, y’s, pull over to press, shoulder box, lower abs
did 2 board because I feel 3 board is not my sticking point. And as I realized 2 board is definatly where I am having trouble. It doesnt make much of a difference at this point but if I can get my bench to 3 board height I will get it. so I will be working this with a pause.
