Squat
315 1@8
330 1@9 meh…was hoping I’d have 350 but with weight loss I’ve lost some strength performance
270 2x5
Bench 1ct
170 3x5 this felt great
Deadlift stiff bar with hook grip for the comp
350 1@7? Should have been like 6 or less but guess I’ll see how 385 goes which was my planned opener.
385 @9.5 damn that’s heavy WTF?! Well guess I’ll probably open with 350 and see how well it moves
I was really hoping I’d have a solid 385-390 @8 so I could try and pull 415+ but we will have to see how things move at the mock meet.
Feels weird to do nothing so just playing while I contemplate what I’m going to do next. I’ll be traveling next week so trying to find a CrossFit Gym. Also need a new program to follow while I continue the weight cut.
September 8, 2018 Meet @ Valens Strength Morning BW 183.8
Overall, I’m happy with the results of the mock meet and it was a fun experience. It was a long day and I’m definitely tired after lifting heavy.
Squat
Attempt 1: 320
Attempt 2: 335 moved very well so I took a conservative jump to 365 even though I really wanted 375 to PR
Attempt 3: 365 ~2x BW
Press
Attempt 1: 145 felt heavy so didn’t want to waste a 2nd attempt on non PR weight
Attempt 2: 160 PR
Attempt 3: 170 failed
Deadlift
Warm ups felt heavy so wasn’t feeling it but decided I’d see how 370 moved. 370 moved quick so I figured I’d see if 390 moved quick before making a PR jump.
Attempt 1: 370
Attempt 2: 390
Attempt 3: 417.5 PR 2.25x BW

September 17, 2018 Morning BW 185.4 damn…I’ve had a couple weeks of maintenance so time to get after it again. 10 more pounds to go, down from 200 about 4 months ago. @home

These are really hard to judge but it’s week 1 day 2 so I have some time to figure things out and ramp up the volume. The body is probably used to a couple days rest on the 3 day/week schedule so the 4 day/week is going to be shocking at first.
Overall, today was a good training day and I’m looking forward to my meet @8s turning into regular training @8s and beyond.

285 3@ really feeling beat down from little sleep this weekend and tons of walking so should have paid attention to warm ups but didn’t want to reduce weight. Parents were in town for the Miramar Marine/Navy Airshow so lots of walking

410 1@8 this felt great to pull 400+ for @8
355 5@8

355 5@9 looks like I need to get the work capacity up.
5min rest on these was tough but I’m stoked about my single @8 being within my 417.5 comp lift
October 5, 2018 Morning BW 182.3 - took some time getting back to consistent 182 to drop more weight when I go on a weekend bender with people visiting. I’m going to try and continue to the push to get under 20% BF @home
Today’s squat workout was much better. Fatigued from sitting all day in a shit chair but nothing a few extra warm ups won’t fix.

195 1@7
205 1@8 seemed to move very well but maybe this was a 9 since I’m not used to doing paused just yet
180 5@9 either I have my singles gauged wrong or bench is a funny thing for me
