Today was tough. My body is feeling beat up from all this frequency. Good thing this accumulation phase only lasts 3 weeks. I think I over did the press intensity last week. Right now the plan is on press intensity to hit a heavy single at 90% then drop down and do another 3x5 to accumulate more volume.

Great meeting you this past weekend Nick. Best of luck with the Olympic lifts.

[Nick D'Agostino]

Thanks for posting the video Wolf, and it was great meeting you too Billy. Congrats on the 405x5 squat, big milestone.

Started working with Jordan on Monday so from now on I will be posting my macro's listed as protein/carbs/fat/fiber in my log, after the workout. Also I changed the way I'm recording my sets, I'm no longer including the plethora of warmup sets and I'm adding a RPE after the strength lifts.

This is some video from the last weightlifting day. First video is the snatch. I'm working on catching the snatch with my shoulders shrugging into the bar and going down faster. The weight is relatively light but I was definitely struggling accomplishing those tasks. I have the tendency to catch the bar slightly forward and then shrug it up in to the correct position. The second video is just a heavy easy clean and messy jerk... the usual. When the weight gets above 140 I don't bend my back leg when I split. Hopefully I can clean some of this stuff up before september 22 and post a decent total.

First time I had to throw on the headphones and get reckless before my sets since the last meet. Great way to finish off a volume block.

I'm thankful for the bench press, because it gives me one lift at which you're not leaving me in the dust.

That is some sick volume man, great work.
