It's Worlds in Texas!!!! 12 weeks out, and I am excited about it. I'm just training hard, trying to not get hurt, and staying close to comp weight.Originally Posted by Matt Bickford
I am taking off to London and Paris this weekend for two weeks of work. I am tad nervous about getting my training in, but I am going to just roll with it. And enjoy Europe!

Day 2
Deadlift
341x1 @8
275x6x4 @8 or more...but then I realized that I usually use straps for at least have of that volume pulling
DB Bench Press
40x8
45x8
50x8x5
Chins and Ab wheel x10 min
Row intervals 24 min total
Tough session for a number of reasons, pretty rushed, stressed, feel awful due to allergies, blah, blah, blah. I was struggling to write down a positive about the session. Then I realized that this is progress-pulling 155 when I don't feel fantastic. This makes me happy.

Day 3 (skipped my usual rest day here and I felt it)
Squat w/o belt
220x8
231x8
242x8x5 got higher than @8
DB Press
25x8
30x8
35x8x5
The thing about DB work-every week, I think "will I be able to go up a DB?!? I hope so!" And most of the time it's a big fat no. 50# DB bench and 35# DB press #4lyfe
Inverted Tempo Rows (no rings today)
x11
x11 (with my body more horizontal)
x11x4 (even more horizontal)
Significantly easier than rings, so I had to adjust for that. My armzZz!!
This latest block is good-challenging and lots of volume forcing me to be very mindful of my technique. But it has also been very rough-a lot of volume and a lot of supplemental/GPP stuff that I am NOT good at or basically barely able to do. This provides a challenge, but it's also easy to get discouraged because some stuff is just really hard and frustrating. I am pretty sure that's good for me though. :-)
