First week of Pre-comp cycle

This week we started the pre-competition cycle, which will last about 4 weeks.  The focus will be on the full lifts, and we will be doing more volume and intensity, and dialing back the strength work (although there will still be some).

Saturday 11-23-13:

So I was drinking heavily the night before, and right before bed I bought 2 Jack In The Box meals (double cheeseburger and a spicy chicken).  I ate 1.5 of them and went to bed.  Woke up at 1pm (training is at 1pm), and made it to training about an hour late.  I shoveled the leftover food from the night before.  I felt like shit right when I woke up, and assumed training was going to suck.

Snatch heavy single - Things felt good during warmups, and I hit 100kg without too much trouble.  102 is my PR right now, so I went for 105.  It didn't feel too heavy and I got it.  I felt lucky then, so I went for 107.  The first attempt right off the floor I felt my grip going, so I didn't pull it confidently and lost it in front.  The second attempt I gripped the bar as tight as I could, and it felt better off the floor and I managed to lock it out!  I'll take a 5kg PR.

C&J 2 singles at 90% - these felt ok, nothing out of the ordinary.

Front Squat 4 doubles at 325lbs - I did these on Sunday since I was super late on Saturday.  They felt reasonably heavy.  Not sure I could have done them easily if I actually tried to do it Saturday.

All in all a good week, I think we might be doing heavy single C&Js next weekend, so I'm excited to see if I improved there as well.  A 130kg+ C&J would be awesome to hit.
