    Bench Press - 272 x 5 x 5

    --> Really good session I got to lift after breakfast, I love morning lifting I am a morning person. Squats were super smooth and easy, it felt like 275 on the bar. Great volume session

    Pause Squat - 275 x 5 x 3

    Chins (BW) - 5, 5, 5

    --> Felt sluggish and tired. Went to an Avs game last night, stayed out late. Good game, they won, and since they were playing the Capitals, I got to see The Great 8 score a goal.

    1/27
    Intensity

    Squat - 400 x 1 x 5
    Bench Press - 310 x 1 x 5
    DL - 450 x 1, 360 x 5

    --> Great session, a little cold in the garage, but got it done in about 1:30
    --> Love the setup of TM, perfect combo of volume and intensity throughout the week, so far I dont feel too fatigued. I can see how it has to slow down and possibly change at some point. Thinking ahead and planning on alterations but for now Ill keep the course. Setting up to look like my last Intensity day of this block before my meet will be 405/315/455 which were basically my 3rd attempts at my last meet. So if I can hit those numbers for 5 sets (Squat and Bench) then Im confident Ive made gains and will probably open with those.

    --> Last regular volume day until the meet. Very cold in the garage, -4 degrees outside and not much warmer inside. Wednesday will be recovery and Friday is gonna be an awesome intensity day since it will be plate math and last meets 3rd attempts! excited for it. My fat ass has been eating lots of cookies lately and not doing much physical work since its been like the arctic outside. Hoping to make 100kg next weekend without having to cut.

    Intensity

    Squat - 405 x 1 x 5
    Bench Press - 315 x 1 x 5
    DL - 455 x 1, 365 x 5

    --> On paper this seemed daunting, however squat and bench went pretty easy. However, by the time I pulled my top single I must have been tired from the squats bc it went slow. Backoff set was good though. These numbers were all 3rd attempts at my meet last year.

    To drop weight cut back heavily on the carbs. Keep protein up and even fats. I had to drop 5 for my upcoming meet and it seems to have worked for me. Maybe smaller portions too

    Yea good advice. I probably won't do that bc I don't care that much what weight class I end up in since I'm not setting any records or anything. Its all about my own PRs and I feel better when im fat
