First round was rough but something was telling to dig deep tonight. Second round hell collapsed as soon as it was over, but something told me to put more weight on and go again. I felt a strong desire to push myself out side of my comfort zone and push hard.

This was brutal and it sucked so bad. I am getting a lot progress out of it right now. Have to keep pushing though the suck.

Had to start strapping up, my grip was slipping starting the 3 set.
Took a short break from lifting since I flew out to Philly to see my Brother. Decided to just treat this week like a break/ partial deload. Pump session. Hope to start training with competitions in mind again.

Ok so I have no plan for this week, winging it, and will start what I hope to be my prep for Strength Games @ The Bar officially next week. Also weighed in at 197, 16 lbs lighter than when I weighed in for Winter Siege. I feel like I am stronger too.

Weights going up brother! Hell yeah.
It was super exciting to pull 4 plates again. This is steeper than the deficit I did the 2 reps on too. Exciting.
Volume shoulder focused session. Improvement on how the benching felt from last week. Felt more in control an less like the weight was controlling me.
