Today I worked on form clean up. I was getting lazy again and rolling the bar and just muscling it up. Today I stripped it down and spent a lot of time under tension and doing it right. Feels pretty good

WIW

Still chipping away at it. I did complete 75 Hard last week. It was a bitch, not just a catchy name. The last two weeks were brutal as my plantar fasciitis was full blast and my knee pain is back. But I hobbled to the finish. I took a couple days off diet and exercise and hopped back on Monday.

I have a usapl meet December 12 but if my knee doesn’t start to feel better this week I’m going to bounce. It’s just not worth pushing it. I know I won’t best prior meets except maybe bench. I don’t know, I’m losing some desire to compete. I love the finish line on things I think that’s why I continue signing up for stupid shit. Something to sink my teeth into, but I feel like I need to focus on my health.

Holy chit that was cardio. 4x6 final set here. Using comp bar and calibrated collars. This is meet prep day 3.

Up a little bit since increasing intake. Also not doing near as much cardio due to plantar issues. Other than feeling run down from over training I don’t feel bloated or like my weight is up. 🤷‍♂️

I’m going to dig out a bike today and see how that feels. I keep saying I will, if I don’t today you can kick me in the nuts. Thinking of picking up a trainer for my bike as the weather will probably be terrible in a minute ya know 2020 and all. I’m still walking 45 mins daily but I’m unable to really push the pace, maybe 19 min miles.

This 425 went up faster than 405 last week. Lower box next week. Yeehaw.

Increased my cals, protein and carbs this week. Lowered fat a bit. Feeling a little better with that. Hoping to see some changes.

Worked up to 4 wheels today testing my knee with a high box. Next week I’ll prob do this again but work some reps and slowly drop the height over a couple weeks. Plan is still raw squat Monday’s and overload Friday. 🤷‍♂️

My buddy (who is my prior coach) announced a meet for 12/12 today not too far from the house. I’m seriously considering it, but I’d have to drop a solid bit of weight to get back in my weight class. About 1.4/week. Which isn’t crazy. I’m conflicted because I’d love to break the state deadlift record which I’ve hit in training a few times. Or just stay fluffy and have a fun meet. Again 🤷‍♂️

Oh yeah! I can dig this trend. I feel like I’m putting it all together right now. I may need to increase my cals a little bit as I’m not recovering as quickly as I need to. Moar protons and carbons.
