i am going to do the same meet i did last year. i am just waiting on my vacation approval, even if it dose not get approved as long as they are lenient with the weigh time i will be able to do it! first real day back Week 1 70%: Squats squats bar warm up 135x8 185x8 225x8 275x8 275x6, gassed! box squats (speed) 135, 155, 175, 195, 215x3 seated ham curls 70x12x3 leg raises 4 sets of rep out, 4th set no so pretty  well i just found out about the meet so i was going to take this week off but i will begin my prep instead. so if there is any advice let me know! i never did the mock meet with my buddy because of the snow here in MD that day, and then i went on vacation and got fatter! on my lunch break tonight i will be doing a half hour of cardio and some stretching. so hopefully i can stick to that as well. |

dead lift 315x7 speed dead lift 205x3x2 225x3x2 245x3x2, not so fast on the last set GMs 135x8 155x8 175x8 lat pull downs 3sets of 8 the 315 was pretty easy. so now the initial 2 weeks of my prep is done. the next 4 weeks will be a little more intense. i have been doing a lot more reps in the warm up than i have in the past. but i am going to start cutting it down a bit and focus more on my main working set. i actually lost weight! i am down to 225. 5 more and i can make the weight class i don't want to be in. well one weight class at a time i suppose  |

bench day warm up 235x3 265x3 295x2 CG bench worked up to 195x7 floor press with DB worked up to the 70's for 10 man what a shitty bench day. the guy spotting me on my last set could not keep his hands off of the bar so it was ruining my bar path, then he tried to rack it after one. also i have been taking in less calories, and i am really feeling it this week. i will finish up with some tris in the morning. also i have missed my DE day 2 weeks in a row and i am thinking that is having it effect on my benching. sadness |

squat - dead lift, yesterday
squat
worked up to 375 for 1
dead lift
worked up to 405x2
this week has been rough as far as getting in the gym so i did squat and dead lift in 1 day on the 95% wave week so it was a bit taxing. i got into bullshitting with someone about training for my last set and i lost all motivation for the dead lift. i did some interval training or at toyed around with it. some squat pushes and pull ups etc.
on a side note i weighed the weights after my dead lift plus the 5 extra for the bar it was just shy of 430! i just go by 405 because that is what it should weigh.
