Notes: Just the kinda workout I needed before gameday.  Everything is knocked back together and feeling strong.  I flubbed my first attempt at 125 on the circus dumbbell, then hit 2 grinders and finished with the fastest and smoothest rep of the cycle.  Great way to end it.  I'm feeling confident on not zeroing the implement, and since I'm going last for the competition, I can play it a little strategically.

Woke up at 195.8.  Much better place weightwise.

  1. Can't wait to see the results, especially with the circus dumbbell pressing for some reason. I wonder how many people actually get the implement at home to practice like you did. I'm also curious how your lifts change when you presumably gain weight since I recall the contest after this one not having your usual weight class.

    1. Thanks man. I know you got to see the video already, but those circus dumbbell reps were what I was most proud of. Training cycle paid off. I don't plan to gain much weight for the competition. I'm going to drop down to about 190 for Murph/fitness test, and then maybe regain to around 200 or so and call it good. I don't like being much heavier than that.
