Sport Form W1 D2

BW- 214, eating more- waiting for the needle to move

407.5x3 @ 9 baby 2.5lb 3RM PR
395x3 @ 9.5
385x3 @ 9.5
Notes: 3-4 mins rest between sets then after the 407.5 PR I had a work "fire" that had to be put out- spent 10+ mins on the phone. Of course when I returned I was "cold" and distracted. Resumed 3.5 min rest between sets and got the work in. Was pleased to get the small PR and not a miss. Had planned for 440 but 417.5 felt harder than it should so I took a bit off.

Notes: 2.5mins rest, knee and hip felt good. Was running behind after sitting in traffic for an hour to go 5 miles- a tractor trailer ran off the road into a small ravine. Plus it was a hectic day at work. My mind was not in it at all.

345x1 @ easy 8, 5lb PR
332.5x3 @ 8.5
332.5x3 @ 8.5
332.5x3 @ 9

215x1 @ 6ish, last pre sling wup
250x1 @ easy 6 with slingshot
270x1 @ easy 7
285x1 @ 9.5, got out of the groove
265x3 @ hard 9
260x3 @ 9.5
250x3 @ 9
Notes: 2.5 mins rest between sets, 270 felt like air. On the 285 single got spaghetti arms and the weight actually started to come back down at the halfway point. Really kicked in the leg drive and saved it. That was a nice confidence builder. Some minor discomfort on the 285 single and the rest of the work but all in all shoulder felt great. Pushed it a bit and it held up- good news!

Nice lifts! - Don't tire yourself out before the meet! I rested/healed the last week before my meet and felt I was getting weaker/fatter but on the day of the meet set some PR's as I had more strength and energy than I expected
