    Another sort-of-press-PR today. Since I'm close to the meet I condensed all my pressing on the light day and switched front squats for pin squats.

    Squats were pretty good today, I could have done 380x3x2 but decided to back-off in weight and save some gas. Bench was a mess, it felt heavy AF and after the first set with 265 I realized the stall mats under the bench were uneven, pushing me to the side... Changed position and things were good again. It was a good ipsilateral-core-stability-workout though... (joking, please.)

    Changed power cleans for a light deadlift day. Pausing for 1 second about an inch off the floor helps me a lot, I like those. As is discussed here, sumo deadlifts tend to irritate my knees, and I gave up trying them again, at least for this meet...

    My diet is working well, maybe too well. Since I'm going to tweak it a little a bit, I realized it could be done here for informative purposes.

    Typical day of eating on a training day (Protein/Carbs/Fat)

    Breakfast (45/88/3)
    100 g of overnight oats (14/65/0)
    1 teaspoon of cocoa power (0.3/0.5/0.3)
    30 g of whey concentrate (24/6/0)
    1 cup of plain yogurt (7/10/3)
    1 peach (-/6/-)

    Intra-workout (-/15/-)
    1 tablespoon of honey (-/15/-)
    1 teaspoon of salt (-/-/-)

    Lunch (70/90/30)
    300 g of white rice cooked in bone broth (15/90/2)
    100 g shredded chicken breast (32/-/8)
    100 g read meat or pork (23/-/20)
    whatever greens (-/-/-)

    Snack 1 (23/22/7)
    60 g bread (4/22/2)
    1 tablespoon of cottage cheese (3/0/1)
    50 g of shredded chicken breast (16/0/4)
    whatever greens (-/-/-)

    Snack 2 (22/28/7)
    20g of whey concentrate (16/4/0)
    1 cup of whole milk (6/9/7)
    1 apple (-/15/-)

    Dinner (77/92/38)
    6 whole eggs (36/1/25)
    50 g of shredded chicken breast (16/0/4)
    20 g of cheese (5/1/4)
    300 g of pasta with bone broth seasoning (20/90/5)
    whatever greens (-/-/-)

    Daily macros: 237/335/85
    Daily calories: 3,053

    On non-training day all I do is eat 50 g less carb sources in both lunch and dinner, and I obviously don't have the intra-workout honey. If my weight drops bellow 197 I'll increase my carbs on non-training days and see what happens.

    New squat PR. The goal was to pull 465 for a triple but there was no chance in hell that I could do that after squats.
