Pull up

4 x 4 sets
Abs - some
Skipped straight to week 2 and looks like it was a good decision. The little bit of training I did last week was enough to keep me in a good place and nothing felt too heavy.

Those squats were so smooth and deep I’m practically pitching a tent over here.

I was really trying to make sure they would all get white lights in a comp. trying to practice and ingrain good technique so it happens on comp day. I was very happy with these tonight, deff some of the best squats at this weight I have done.

Back from holiday, back training and feeling good. I was waiting till now to see how I felt before registering for the powerlifting comp I was eyeing up. I have registered and paid for the comp today. I will compete in the 90kg class, I was about 88 yesterday so will have to watch the weight over the next few weeks. The comp will be on Saturday 7th August, 4 weeks after this week. Feeling pretty excited about competing but also a little nervous, which is normal.

Heck yes! No matter how much you lift, it’ll be exciting to see how you do. Do you have any preliminary numbers?
Haven’t discussed it with the coach yet. For me the target is to get a total over 500, not sure how that will break down between the lifts yet.

Body is really feeling last nights session. Lower back and legs are sore and very tight. Just putting socks on was a challenge. Lol
Lots of protein and try to move a bit today. Long hot bath later tonight.

Did a little yard work yesterday to get the body moving and try and work out some of the stiffness.
Picked the dog back up from the ABF yesterday, he was super happy to be back home and the children gave him lots of fuss. Gave me a good excuse to go for a walk and also meant I had to get up early and walk him before work this morning. Most of the stiffness and doms has gone with only a small amount of soreness in the back, glutes and hammies. Should be good to squat again tonight.

Does this mean he gets to stay with you permanently?
No, he was just boarding there whilst we were on vacation. He didn’t get selected for Japanese customs so he will stay with us a little longer and go for another selection trial for an Australian agency (dont know which one) in early August. If he is not successful then I am not sure if there are any more selections or if they will decide he is going to be put out for adoption. We have decided that we wont keep him if he does go for adoption. Kids will be very sad but mum and dad have too much going on to be able to give him the best life.
