7 days till the meet. Here's some of the stuff I did this week:
5x3 squat @ 325
3x5 bench @ 180 (PR tie)
5x3 squat @ 335
3x60s planks @ +10#
some pullups and dips
lots of banded flossing of the elbow that's been bugging me, feels good
Tomorrow I'll squat 5x3 @ 345, don't see that posing any issue. Taking the rest of the week off then for the meet. Read through Paleo for Lifters twice, my brorection for JL is at an all-time high, really motivated to cleanup my eating after the meet. I want to commit to 6 weeks of strict eating, then introduce 1 cheat per week (either ordering food or pouring liquor down my throat). I think this will be optimally conducive to being super tan. Also going to beat the shit out of my presses post-meet. Time to catch that shit up to an acceptable level compared to my squat and deadlift.
My BW upon waking up has been hovering in the 177-179 range, I shouldn't have any problem floating into the 181 weight class. If I was actually lean and wasn't a walking repository of pudge, I could be competitive in 165, but that's not what this particular meet is about. Next time.
I'm gonna start the 6 on 1 off soonish. Got a trip to Boston next week but when I'm back should be good to go.
