Training Log: Entry 3670

PM WORKOUT (1400)

Buffalo bar squat
31x225

Notes:

• Got up at 0400, got ready to train, and realized I just plain didn’t want to do it. Competition is on Sunday, it’s the final workout of the program, I’ve already done the weights before, and I don’t see how 1 workout could make me better, but it could definitely make me worse. So I went back to bed and slept until 0515. I got off work early today though, and decided to get in something. My white whale is 50 reps at 225, and I felt like going for it today. Using the tacky shirt got me to overcome the normal difficulty of the bar rolling down my back, and I got an incredible leg pump from this, but I was struggling with how tight the belt was, and on rep 31 I felt something wanting to come back up, so I racked it. It’s still there waiting for me: I just need to come in with a strategy.

• Happy with how the knee and hip held up through this. Curious to see how I feel come Sunday. I’m not smart.

• Woke up at 86.0kg. 3kg gained in 6 weeks: solid.

• Got in a 1:18 timed hold last night. I went without a metronome, and that worked better by NOT knowing how much time was passing.
