Details to follow, but that is nuts.

Notes: Unplanned morning workout.  Had the day off but dog woke up early so I figured I'd squeeze it in before the family woke up.  Hard to get into gear on the single set work: usually takes a few weeks for me to get my head straight on that.  Found it on that final set of axle bench press.  My push press still sucks quite a bit.  Missed the clean the first time, and was too sweaty to save it with a continental, so took a minute rest to nail it.  Just gotta commit.  The log viper was about the right prescription.  Wore the 13mm belt the first time, but went without it afterwards and it worked out better.  Plan was to get in more straight set work on the bench, but time was the factor.  Still sorting this out, but it's good enough for now.

So yeah, on the above, just moved crazy good.  Another one of those didn't wanna do it, felt like I was moving slow, turned out I set a PR.  So damn hot in the garage I couldn't see the timer while I was doing it: sweat kept getting in my eyes.  Had to do the last few reps with one eye closed.

I'm undereating WAY too much.  I'm too good at that.  Need to watch for it.  Although if I do end up getting down to goal weight quick, I can always maintain/gain coming into the comp, so that's cool too.

Found a back up if the Sep one falls through.  It's in Nov and closer to home.  Not quite the same events, but not an awful show.
