So it's been over a week since the meet, not going to say I was happy with my numbers. Bench of 510 and deadlift of 540, which are both meet PRs but I was really hoping for more. So in that aspect, it was a bit of a bummer. However, it does seem like a good takeaway that I can go into a meet as banged up as I was and still finish it. Bench went well, opened with 450 just to have a nice easy one to get on the board. Second attempt was 510, got it without any real issue. Third attempt was 530, it stopped just a tad before lockout so I had to have them take it. Between bench and deadlift I got a call that I really didn't want to get. It had me worried about someone so I don't think my head was entirely in the deadlifting. Opener was 500, smoked it, was thinking I could end with 570, so I went for my second with 540, smoked it. In retrospect I should have really went 550 just to get an extra 10 pounds out of it. The 570 stopped just below my knees. But it was a pretty good time.
Only trained twice last week, head's been in completely other places. However, I have cut out a lot of the junk food I was using to keep me at 330ish. In doing so I've slowly dropped some weight. It's odd seeing my weight go down and trying not to have a freakout over it because I think I'm getting small and weak. At any rate, I'm sub 320 right now. In my head that seems so small.
Until April I'm not doing anything over 405 pounds except maybe shrugs. Even my heavy days will be heavy reps instead of singles. Tonight I tore my chest up nicely. Did board presses with 405, sets of 4, 3, and 5. Triceps and shoulders were pretty tore up, which isn't a bad thing since they've needed some work lately. Then did some light incline bench for 3 sets of 8. Ended up the night by burning out on bench press, 225 for a set of 31, that's a new rep PR for 225, so that's pretty nice. I plan on working my triceps in a bit more with my shoulders on Thursday. We'll see how that goes. I've rambled enough.
