Wolf's Log: From Cub to Direwolf

[Gillian Mounsey]

Great job on the deadlift. Nice PR! You are ready for next week.

[Michael Wolf]

Tonight’s goal was to work up to my opening attempts in the Squat and then Bench Press, as prep for my PL Meet on Saturday. No Deadlift because of the high level of systemic fatigue DL’s cause - so my last DL workout was on Saturday, 1 full week before the meet.

Squat
45x5x2, 135x5, 225x3, 275x2, 325x1, 370x1, 415x1 - really, shockingly, surprisingly easy. YES! I am ready.

Bench Press
135x5, 185x5, 225x3, 275x2, 325x1, paused - not nearly as easy as I’d hoped, but still a sure thing rep, no chance of a miss. 295x2, paused. 275x3, unpaused.

I’m not thrilled with my benching tonight, but not worried about it. I’ll be able to bring it full force on Saturday.

Great job on the deadlift. Nice PR! You are ready for next week.

Thanks, Gillian. I feel ready to go down and hit a 1300 in my first meet!

Best of luck this weekend! Keep us posted.

Awesome! Looking forward to reading your results.

Thanks all! It feels weird not lifting, and just foam rolling and stretching a bit, but I'm stoked for Saturday. Will post any pics and vids that I can get my hands on, along with results.

I understand...I felt like the meet interfered with my training...in the end, it was A-OK though...have fun with it!
