    Well, that's closer to me than Atlanta, now. Maybe I'll make it out for that.

    Thank you all so much! The SS community is fantastic, and it was also wonderful to have so many people there in person to cheer us all on. For those of you who came by, I can't tell you how great is is to be in such a huge meet and then hear your name yelled when you're ready to lift.

    Day 1 refresh
    I thought I was feeling pretty awesome, aside from being exhausted, but then I started lifting. Uh, some aches and pains.

    Thank you! I am so excited about this little house. New flooring and all new paint is next. And CA has so few meets, I figured I had to decide right away.

    Day 1 of new training block

    Squat
    220x6 @6
    231x6 @7
    242x6 @8 x3 sets
    (Shhhh, I tried to do a set at 265x6 but could tell right away that would be a disaster. I had to coach myself, use RPE, and remain sane rather that get wigged out "that I am not lifting enough" today. )

    Bench
    110 x6@6
    117x8 @7
    128 x8 @8 x 3 sets

    DL with mini band,
    215 +band, 1 x15 every 30 sec

    Sooooo, this got fun quickly. But so much work on my DL these days. All is good.

    Day 2

    Those feels when you're only on Day 2 of the new training block, and it is gnarly! This will be good, me thinks.

    Deadlifts-all reps pulled as singles today
    231x6 @6
    242x6 @7
    253x6 @8 x3 sets

    In an effort to improve my set up, I had to step back and reset for each pull. This made sets of 6 looooong, but it was good. Very good.

    DB seated press
    25x8x4 trying to work on my limited OH range of motion
    Done between coaching some other lifters, with me insisting that they wait for me to do a set before they lifted again. WAIT for me! Some of them are just too impatient.

    Box squats with chains
    180 +chains (60#, I think) x3 reps EMOM x 12 min.

    General training update is that I now kind of wrecked. It's like training is currently a foreign concept for my body, but it's a pretty cool training block.

    10/27/16
    Day 3

    Tempo Squats 5-0-0
    198x5 @6
    209x5 @7
    220x5 @8 x3 sets

    Tempo Bench 3-2-0
    110x5 @6
    114x5 @7
    121x5 @8 x 3 sets

    Bench with chains
    100 +chains x3 EMOM x 12 min
    My third reps were getting questionable by the last few minutes, and I failed the final rep. I think I need different chains.

    Prowler 15 rounds
