So, today I did a mock-meet with David at 319. I guess I went 7 for 11 (#teamawful), but it was a blast getting to meet David and watch him blast some big PRs.

The mock-meet pretty much went like this:

7/13
Squat
Warm up to 275x1
315
345
375xF

I don't know what happened here, but I failed coming out of the hole.

Bench
Warm up to 185x1
195 (Hella easy)
205
220 (Had to grind it out at the top)
225xF

I could have done a better job of choosing my attempts here. I feel that had I gone for 215 on my second attempt, I'd have had a fair shot at getting 225 for my third attempt and spared myself the effort of attempting -and probably failing- a fourth attempt.

Deadlift
Warm up to 365
405
445 (a little slow)
465xF
465xF

I kind of psyched myself out at 465 and failed to get it off the ground. I refocused and tried it again, and it definitely wasn't there.

Overall, it was a good day. I finally have an idea of what I'm capable of at the moment, as well as an idea of what I should be doing for the next month or two that I'm in Iowa. Hanging out with David was awesome. Having him there to spot my bench and yell at me when psyching up definitely made a difference in my performance.

You strength came back in a hurry. I just saw you nearly miss a 300-lb. squat a week ago. How do you do that?

Sleep, brotein, quality training, pop tarts.
I'm not sure about the others, but I'm positive about the pop tarts. They're anabolic magic.

7/15
Squats
Warm up
260x5
280x5
305x5

Pulls off blocks
Warm up
315x10
405x10
455x5
500x1
315x3x15 (shrugged it 4-8 times at the top)

Shrugs
225x3x15

Leg curls
Neutral Grip Lat Pulldowns

Notes: Today, I trained at the ungodly hour of 9:00 am. I didn't sleep the night before and I under-ate considerably, so I guess I didn't do my best this session. 305x5 went up very smoothly, I probably could have put in 2-3 more reps with it. My elbows were pretty agitated afterward, so I decided to minimize the damage and not go for 315. 500 off the blocks was very slow, I don't think I'll be capable of pulling it off the floor anytime soon.

Notes: I didn't feel like beating myself up today, so I decided to get some high volume benching done. I tried to do some overhead pressing after benching, but my shoulders felt weird and made it difficult to lock anything out, so I stopped after 95x4. I figure I should work on my shoulder mobility.

Notes: I want to thank Kyle and Janis for taking the time to figure out what's going on with my wacky looking squats. It helps a lot to have someone more knowledgeable find out what you're doing and why you're probably doing it.

P.S. I might be doing too much accessory work.

You're going to get so much stronger so quickly that in the grand scheme of things it won't matter. The sets won't be terribly difficult this first month, but you don't need an aggressive program to get stronger. This will give you time to get in some reps and really work on your technique before you start to push it.

Notes: I didn't get a chance to train yesterday, so I did my heavy squatting and heavy benching on the same day, mostly because I don't feel like squatting before Monday's deadlifts. I didn't do any lower body accessories because I have volume squats tomorrow.
Double the volume, double the fun.

I'm interested to see what kind of numbers you hit at the end of this program. You made decent progress without a program, I'm sure your lifts will shoot up even faster now.

He'll make good progress leading up to the meet, but to be honest, any idiot could write him something that would increase his lifts right now. If we can get him to hit a PR total at this meet, then I'd say we've done well.

Yeah, I'm excited to see what happens. The program's fun and challenging so far. It looks like something that I can progress steadily on. I think I started it at a good time since it was getting harder to increase my weights because recovery was an issue.

Hitting a PR total would be very easy since I haven't competed since last October and my squat sucked back then. Hitting or exceeding my previous gym PRs will the real challenge, especially considering I was 197 in october and I'm planning on making 181 at this next meet.

I've been thinking about getting some knee wraps. Sh-Should I do it?
