I had this happen to me once, but I think it was because I let my valsalva out from glottis to mouth.

I need to be a more diligent logger. I haven't skipped training, just the fun of logging.
My last training block was VERY GOOD, and I feel great about the training weeks ahead. Worlds feel both right around the corner and a long way off, but I have my flight, my hotel, and hopefully almost all the various fees all paid up. Now I just need my visa. It's super real.

Congrats on the bench PR! Sorry I was mad quiet, I was basically napping in between sets.
You were sooooo tired, I know. I was impressed with how long you stuck with training that night. I think being the room, breathing the same air as the guys pulling like 800#, was the ticket to that bench.

Thanks! But we all get to see each other at the meet, right?

Day 1
I've moved back into a specialization/sports form block, so that means I get to work on bettering my mental game for these heavy singles. I'm not going to take an @9 attempt unless I am 100% confident that I'm going to get it. That means that I have to work on not second guessing myself AT ALL because I can indeed be pushing these weights up. Can I psych myself out? Yep. This must absolutely stop because I know that I have a fantastic program, I am putting in the hard work of training, and I am even sleeping a little better.
