ok lets face it: i didn't qualify for worlds because i'm strong, it's because i'm old...
now that we have that out of the way, i've committed to go to the czech republic w the APF and figured i'd start a new log. the other one wasn't very good anyway :sgrin: i got 12 weeks to get ready so there's not going to be any bulls.hitting around. i'll be doing one of the variations of 531 for pl'ing, why change if it ain't broke. i'm going to try to total ~1060 ish, 410/245/405 ish. actually, i'm aiming for 1056 so i can beat jim by 1 lb :biglaugh: dl sucks cause i'm coming off of a left hammy. but it's been coming along well so it's time to turn it up a bit. 5 shoulder surgeries = no bench, it is what it is.
current maxes: 375 (at nats)/???/???. leading up to nats i was only squatting, it's been about 6 full months since i've trained all 3 lifts at the same time. since nats i've put 15 lbs on my squat by wendler's formula, so i set my squat at 390. i set my bench at 225 - i could prolly do that twice atm and dl at 380 - again, based on wendler's formula. i'd like to think that i'll be able to at least dl what i squat. i'll know as i get closer where i'll be.
as always, the goal is not to get hurt.
and on w the show...

not happy w the 2nd one, 1st and 3rd were ok. i've been struggling w depth since i took the box away a few weeks ago. it's gotta get better.
thoughts:
the 315 felt light, i gotta solve this depth thing quickly. i was kinda stupid, right after nats i started using the box again for about a month or so, took it away and all of the sudden forgot how to squat. it'll get better. mcl's were bothering me a little the past few days, so i didn't give the TM a run today (sean calls me a p.ussy. here). it's a little early to start screwing around w openers so i'll see how it goes. i'll prolly start thinking about openers in a month or so but at least for my squat it'll be around 360.
and we're off...
