So, I'm going to knock the dust off this thing. A friend has started logging her training and inspired me to start doing it again, while I probably won't be that dedicated to updating daily, I'll try to hit the highlights. So, I'm 13 weeks out from my next meet. I have the numbers in my head I think I can hit. I have the numbers in my head I want to hit. The goal is to get the can closer to the want. I start 13 weeks out, that way I have a 1 week deload before the meet. Once again, I plan on doing push/pull. I'm doing this training cycle a bit different, alternating weeks between heavy/light. Heavy days will be doing singles, light days will be using between 55-65% of my current one rep max on deadlift days and 62-72%. And I'll probably talk about any random thing that pops in my head.
Tonight worked out pretty well, nice and simple primary lift was deficit deadlifts, 315 for 3 sets of 5. No belt since it was a light night, fortunately I didn't have to unload a truck today so I went in pretty fresh. The deficit block I use is about 3" so the pulls felt pretty long but good. Unfortunately it was far too muggy for a November, about 70 and rainy so it felt kind of oppressive in the gym. Because of that probably took longer between sets than I should have, but at least I had good company. All the pulls went nice and smooth, didn't feel horribly taxed so that means 325 2 weeks from tonight. Standing band situps, stiff legged deadlifts, and I did a couple of chinups just to see how hard they were at the moment. The answer to that is very, but I was able to get my 337.2lb ass off the ground, so I'm calling that a mini-victory.
Tomorrow will be light bench day. We'll see how that goes.
