SWEET JESUS IT FEELS GOOD TO LIFT REAL WEIGHTS AGAIN! 2 months of high volume, transition and max week, so 3 months of prep work, now 3 months of training prior to the meet. Everything felt appropriate as per the 75%. Sumos all looked really good on tape as well as the deficit pulls. I honestly feel like the combo of sumo + heavier good mornings + deficit pulls at a low percent to really work on leg drive plus a completely neutral back is going to pay huge dividends not only in the meet, but in the olympic lifting block i have after my meet. So skwats, tugs, assistance work, in for the day. Feeling healthy, bodyweight is a little under 180 so i have some wiggle room up to the top end of 185 going into the strength block which i like. This will give me some play with my food and allow me to eat a little more to accommodate recovery. Real pumped up to see where the next few months goal. I said it once, ill say it again, dreams are a god damned waste of time. I have a goal, and i'm going to attack it every single day until this meet, and if i don't hit what i want, you bet your ass i'll leave every ounce of effort in the gym and on that platform trying.
