    Yes, RPE is a terrible program.

    Thank you for noticing! Hahaha. This programming is pretty hard, but it's good.

    This week has been a shock to my system, but it's all good.

    Sat was -
    Pull
    Bench
    Pull
    Squat
    Bench

    So it evened out a little bit. :-)

    I am currently riding the struggle bus for various reasons, many mental. But then in addition to all that, I stood up and smacked my head into the barbell harder then I ever have. I still have a stellar headache.

    Hope the headache goes away. If it makes you feel any better, I managed to give myself (another) scar right in the middle of my forehead while I was warming up for snatches with an empty barbell a few years ago. So at least you're not alone.

    Well, now I feel like a pansy. I only did 11 lbs more for the same sets and reps this morning.

    Haha, well I didn't WANT to use that much weight. I only did because I was told to. Then I made lots of annoyed sounds and faces during each set. Jordan's worst motivational line for me-do this so you get a back like mine. Uh, yeah no. I want a killer DL, no question, but I don't think that would be a great look for me. :-) But I did row more weight.

    I think you'd rock it.

    So clearly my logging has been pretty poor right now. I am getting all my training in, trying to really focus on fixing things and improving. But I'm going to admit that my training is pretty tough right now. It's hard work, yes. It's a lot of volume, and I am indeed tired. However, if truth be told, I am not sure I have my training groove back since Worlds. I am now 10 weeks out from Nationals. This has proven to be a very, very hard training block these last several weeks -mentally, and I have to get out of my head ASAP. I am not pleased with the weights I am moving around at this time, nor am I pleased with my ability to fix or improve upon some of my go-to errors. I've wanted to give up after about 50% of my training sessions, but I won't. That's not on the table, but I am bummed about my own training ability quite often right now.

    7/31/17
    Day 1


    Squat (we are notably altering my grip position and it is making my squats feel very unstable, but my elbow and arm pain is now 100% gone. I really had to fix that since it was getting to be absolutely awful prior to each meet.)
    264 x5
    314 x1
    288x4
    260x4 x 4 sets

    Bench
    174x1
    146x4 x 6 sets

    Pend Rows
    198x7 x4 sets

    8/2/17
    Day 2

    Deadlift
    308x4
    341x1
    352x1
    314x3 (I had a total technical failure on rep 4, should have been able to pull it, but just could not as I let me back round in the MIDDLE of the rep)
    275x4 x sets

    2 ct paused bench
    143x4
    150x 4
    154 x 4 x 3 sets (missed my final rep)

    SSB squat
    190x7 x 4 sets

    EDIT- I know, rationally, that things aren't *bad*, and there are some good things-like pulling 160 today in this development block. This is just my angst about being an advanced lifter and trying to eek out progress. It's going to work out, I am sure, and again, there really isn't any other course. I need to fix my squat grip to get rid of the pain. I need to figure out how to bench 200. I need to stop leaning back right before I pull a DL. And while I know these things, I am in the wonderful phase of trying to make them routine and normal.
