Thank you. Other than the usual aches, pains, and creakiness, I’m feeling good. Insomnia has been a killer lately, but hopefully I’ll get it under control. Four workouts a week is still the goal. I plan to pop into your log and check out your comp training - how are you feeling about it?

Feeling OK mate. 4 weeks to go, 2 more heavy weeks of training and then a small deload / taper. Feeling a little beat up but that should change with the deload. The weights for the comp aren’t too heavy so I am looking forward to having some fun on the day. Most nervous about the max log overhead/ It is a pretty new movement for me and I wont have practiced on a 12 inch log before comp day (mine at home is 10 inch).

I’m glad training is going well, and it appears the deload will be a welcome rest. Is there a gym nearby with a 12" log that you can pop into once, so you can get a feel for what you’ll be pushing?

I think my gym has one but I have no idea how heavy it is. I will ask and see if anyone knows.

I tweaked the everloving crap out of my neck last week, and I think dips and pull-ups contributed to it. They’ve stalled anyways, so time for a change.

My legs were STILL sore today from Monday’s workout! Between that andthe draining heat, two work sets of deadlifts was enough today.
