    67x8, 77x8x2 - first time doing this in quite a while, it was a pleasure not to have them irritate my left pec. If i can keep that pec healthy, the goal is to turn this ramp-up into an LP, then back to weekly and then bi-weekly programming, then a final run probably in 3 week waves, up to a goal of 315 press and 500 bench by New Years, with a 700 deadlift as the bonus goal. Even though I'll be moving cross-country in the middle of it. Let's do this!

    This was pretty easy. I think all my hiking with the pup has increased my conditioning by accident - not entirely surprising, just interesting to actually experience.

    Notes: Wanted to do barbell rows but my left QL (I think) has really been acting up lately so skipping anything that flares it up, even if only a little. It's the same issue I've had more or less constantly since this workout nearly two years ago: Wolf's Log: From Cub to Direwolf

    At the time, I didn't know what was happening yet with my knees, or else I wouldn't have been so stubborn about continuing to squat 500+ lbs despite having sharp stabbing pains every time on the way down, causing me to lose all tightness and collapse into the hole. Which, with 500 lbs, caused this back tweak which I'm still dealing with today. It comes and goes, but comes more often than goes, and a single flare-up event could be something as simple as being seated next to another big person on a plane, and then it's irritated for weeks or even months after that. Very annoying, but you live and learn.

    So. A spot opened up at the Maryland Fall Classic at Westminster S&C in a week and a half and I took it. I haven't competed since the 2015 fall classic, and really want some external motivation for my training that I haven't had in so long. The goal here is to post a total so I can do Nationals in January, where I want to peak and hit PRs. I can't train my squat but I can take a token squat to post a total and train the shit out of my press and (hopefully) deadlift. My goal for January is a 1000 lb total between press and DL, with 315/700 (kilo equivalents). For this meet, I'm obviously not going to peak or even hit heavy singles since it's such short notice, but I do want to not totally embarrass myself so going to adjust my programming a bit so I can train through it but hit slightly heavier singles than I'd otherwise have been ready for in less than two weeks.

    Press: no belt or wraps
    225x3, 235x2 @6.5

    Bench: no belt or wraps
    315x5, 345x5x2 @7, 315x5

    Deadlift: 4" belt
    505x1 @6 - supposed to be 525 but I misloaded
    455x5

    starting strength coach development program
    Press: Hips on first rep, dead stop on all others
    165x4, 175x4x3

    T-Bar Row
    70x10, 115x10, 135x10, 155x10x2 - plate weight only
    Close Neutral Grip DB Bench: Tempo 3-1-3
    70x8x4
    Notes: I'm trying to avoid another pec strain so want to do a less stressful alternative than the close grip bench I've done in the past on Wednesdays, along with limiting chin/pullup volume. Alas 70 is the heaviest dumbbell we have. Did the first two sets with a 1ct pause and the last two without the pause; with the pause I felt a little tweaky in the pec, without the pause was a bit easy. Blargh.

    C2 Erg
    45/60 x8 @ 1:53-1:56, last one at 1:48. Conditioning always seems to get shafted when I'm doing seminars, because of harder time constraints than usual. Getting back into it today was rough, especially without having walked or hiked much the past week.
