Mock Meet went Better than expected. Everybody hit at least 1 PR. I will post all the numbers when I figure out every body else’s attempts
Mine went:
Squat
595-625-Pass
Bench
385-415-x441x
Deadlift
585-625-655-x675x
I was a bit more aggressive with my attempts. My game plan was to go for PRs or pass on third attempts.
1st Squat was highly questionable depth, 2nd I got bent over really bad and wasnt sure if I mis-grooved it or I was just weak so passed on my third.
Bench 415 moved fast and 441 (200kg and yes I am counting the clips to give me an extra pound hahaha) came off my chest but I doubt it was that close.
Deads FLEW. My issue with deads is entirely thinking too much but when the weights get heavy I psych myself up and dial it in. This is going to be addressed next offseason.
In the moment I thought the 655 was 665 but it wasnt. The 675 was locked out but there was downward movement so reds. In the GWF 4ths count for Lift records but not totals.
Grand total was 1695 at the same body weight as last time. I will take it.
Some videos coming soon and in a few days the meet video recap as well.
Rest of the year I am going to have little to no structure in my training so this will get fun.
Couple of misses. That 441 was a lot closer than I thought buuuuut still not that close. I will post some more videos in the next few days. Somebody tricked me into buying her a dress so off to shopping (and quite probably day drinking )
AH and I noticed with my deads I am standing too far from the bar and the first thing the bar does is crash into me before coming up. I think this has to do with the floor because I pull the bar close then it rolls away…#globogym
Really long story buuut we escaped a 2 hour wait list by crashing some friends’ table that were there by coincidence. The 4.5 of them were on their 2nd bottle of Tequila at 407pm. I say 4.5 because 1 was in no condition to be considered whole and he went to sleep in a car shortly after we got there.
I am not judging, I love this stuff. No worries, cares, times or dates. Let the fun fly whenever it can.
I will miss these spontaneous hoodluming moments, they just dont happen in “the North” were every body is a lot more conservative, proper…and boring. Sure they party at the club every weekend and usually thursdays but that is soooo like 2006.
MONDAY
LOL Fat ASS…100kg in the AM…I only stepped on the scale so I could laugh. I ate junk pretty much all weekend and had more than 1 drink Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
WORKOUT:
Mobility Work
T-Bar Rows
Bar Curls
Hammer Curls
Iso Cross Curls
I wasnt in the most motivated of conditions but damn dat bicep pump was on point!!!
Annnd I have added linear progression and tracking to my Bicep training.
Meet Recap Part 1 should be up later today and Part 2 tomorrow.
Sick and slept most of Tues, Wed and Thurs. Feeling much better today. Off all the sauce (except TRT) but still having some side effects (back pump but sleep is a ton better)…really cant wait to never run tren again. Enanthate just isnt fun like Ace but daily injections suck. I also think I will be able to accomplish all my goals next year with either Test and/or Mast. Maybe some Superdrol.
Tuesday
10@135-225-275 QUIT

Spend rest of day in bed sick (unrelated)
Wednesday
Pharmacy Cardio
(Go from Pharmacy to pharmacy until they give me the antibiotics I need with out prescription)
Thursday
Attempt Banded Bench Cardio Mountain but fail for grindy joints so did some Pumpy Pump Super Easy Stuff
Friday
Dead 10s@135-225-315-345-375 QUIT
(Failed Cardio Mountain attempt for Back Pump)
Back Pump didnt come on as fast and went away a TON faster so I am hoping next week it will be a non factor. That would line up with half lives and such.
Annnnd so I havent bought booze in a while I couldnt decide if I am Frat Bro or English Soccer Fan hahaha but all i really want is a bourbon on the rocks but since Woodhouse didnt stock the liquor cabinet it looks like Black Mexicans tonight.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Aside from being sick life has been pretty funny lately…especially Wifey. Offseasons are fun…but I am cutting carbs for the rest of December (to make room for beer obv).
I’m a little jealous of this. I’m not one to abuse pharmaceuticals so I’d have no problem controlling myself. It’d be damn nice to be able to walk in and buy my antibiotics along with the Sudafed when I have a sinus infection.
But then again, I might be tempted to buy other things too.
IMPORTANTIST STUFF
London Pride is my Favorite beer
LOL weekend wasnt great for physical training but I kept the belt tight.
My recovery took a huge hit now that the Supps are mostly out of my system…not missing the sides though. Libido coming back is a huge help to my marriage LOL. (I used to think women are so complicated, maybe I hit the lottery but keeping Wifey happy is a lot like the stereotypes for bros).
Just been trying as many things as possible in the gym to see what I like and dont for next year.
So far I have eliminated Zercher Squats, Incline Bar Pressing (will use dumbells), belt Squats and Banded Back Extensions.
Yates Rows are awesome and calves will be trained until they start to affect my Squats or I remember how little I care about them.
And been packing a bunch. We leave next Tuesday but will be crashing at a friends house on Monday so I might not train much this week.
OK Off for round 2 in the gym. Probably try Pendlays and do some Cable Rows while wifey hits Bench and Rows.
I hate them hahahaha they were super uncomfortable and awkward. I will try to do some Zercher Carries but at this advanced age of mine unless I love them or think they will be too much help not to do them I am not going to make the time for them.
unrelated…we are packing and I just threw out about 100 vials of shit Test Enanthate…fuck that hurts.
PM Stuff

Fluffy I havent been great at cutting carbs so I just switched to the fat boy wedding ring. My current macros are best described as High Protein, Low Fat, Too many Carbs and Moderate Booze.
My motivation for the gym is going up and my body is a ton less “creaky”. I havent had that awesome workout yet but I feel like its only a matter of time before things start clicking.
Cardio Mountain pretty embarrassing, in my defense I did do a bunch of pressing yesterday and I suck at reps anyways. On the plus side I finally completed a Cardio Mountain!!!
Yes I am tracking my bicep results more closely than anything else LOL FULL BRO MODE ENGAGED!!!
