Can't believe it is April already. Sending strong vibes your way for some good training leading up to the meet in the next few weeks.

Okay training day. I had to rush to get this done, and the 8s on squats destroyed me for bench. Kind of disappointed in bench, but keeping it in perspective. I got this all done in about an hour and fifteen minutes start to finish in between my classes tonight. Video of 420 for 8 below:

Ya, that's a lot to get done in 75 mins. Looking solid heading into to meet territory.

Okay session. Squats went well, but my weird bench anti-peaking continued today. Two weeks ago I PRd my paused bench when I made 355 and since then it has been two unusually horrible bench sessions in a row. Three weeks ago I did 330x4 fairly easily. I am hoping that my taper for the meet will help, but as of now I think I am going to have to open very conservative on the bench and see what happens from there. Video of 455x5 squat below:

Just getting in some conditioning. Looking forward to getting back into my regular routine after the meet.

Trying to get caught up here. I've missed a lot. Since I just finished a few weeks with 8 rep sets, it's cool to see the way you handle them. Seems like you don't even think about it except 1 rep at a time...that's the way to do it!

Also, it's hilarious to see how all the kids at your gym stop to watch you, haha. Best of luck at the meet. I would like to compete in USAPL sometime, but it seems there's never any close to me. Can't wait to see you kill it.
