Quick update: my girls are doing great, but they are at a pretty inconsolable period, just fussy ALL the time. Don't get me wrong, they are the best thing in my life, but the lil boogers are killing my training for now... Eh, such is life. Octobers meet will 100% be chalked up to a "learning experience" with a few light lifts tossed in!
Today:
Bench
135 2x5
165 2x5
185 1x4 (hit the rack on my 5th attempt)
205 3x1 (yay!!)
215 0x0.... (Dammit.... Was off from the unrack, could have struggled through, but bailed on it)
185 3x1
165 2x3

Deads:
135 1x10
225 2x5
275 2x5
315 2x5
365 2x3
405 1.5 x1 (I say 1.5 because I kinda hitched the 2nd one, but I made it up)
315 3x5

Did 5x10 ring dips after all was said and done. Came home early to help the wife with, what else... Fussy lil girls!!!
Cheers,
Wade

thanks puccah! I'm looking forward to getting my #'s back up. 405 was my planned opener b4 I had the girls, now it's prob my max lift. As long as I total over 900 I'll be happy for now.

It's ok, Wade. I'm sure you'll do amazing! :)
 
You'll do good, man. I'm not ready for it either. Thought about backing out even. Stick through it. You'll always be learning something.

Plus, I'll give you nose tork and slap your face! Instant 15lbs.

well that's reason enough for me to go right there!
 
Wade you will be alright. In my experience most people are super supportive bc it takes courage to get on the platform. I totaled 935 my first meet and had a great time. Also, keep in mind if you are not used to a deadlift bar the pulls may be easier than you anticipate.

Plus you got the Bolt and Sean the AM squat tandem there!
 
I'm not too worried. I know my training is way off, so like I said, my hopes are just to learn a ton and watch some big lifts.
 
Quick squat sesh today.
Warmed up with overhead squats. Bunch of bar reps, then 3x5 @ 95lbs. Really gets the core muscles firing!
Squats:
135 3x8 (3-5 sec pause)
185 3x5 (3 sec pause)
225 2x5 (2sec pause)
255 5x1 (minimal pause)
Felt heavy a f?k!!!!

Front squats
Same reps/pauses minus the 255 sets

Box squats
225 3x3 wide stance

Ran outta time and energy... Late night at the old hacienda last night.
Cheers,
Wade
 
Wraps will be there in a day or two. Start training in them ASAP. Call or text me whenever I'd you have questions with them. Any idea on opening attempts?
 
I'm excited to lift in the wraps! Thinking openers will be SUPER conservative. Most likely going 270/180/365

Ok, so I haven't been in the gym for a week. I have some serious Poison Ivy and it is MISERABLE!!!!!! Go figure, it's on my legs and I just got my knee wraps from Sean1332. Going to see the Dr today to clear this mess up. Anywho.... Here is what I programmed for my base gym:

Rest 2 min

Sprint 100M

Haha...I may not be man enough!! I got a Rx for prednisone today, should help in a day or two. Should give me just enough time to ramp up for a max out in OCT.?.?
 
Poison Ivy? That sh!t is almost therapeutic , ha ha...
I don't like the sides from prednisone...
Like Rob said , if u wrap it tight enough it may kill the Poison Ivy ?
lol.....
;)
 
At this point, I don't care about side effects! This shît is miserable!!!! First time ever having it and I hope it's the last.

As a child I used to pick the lil white flowers off the Poison Ivy plant n suck the sweet nectar from em.. And yes many times I came home with a rash... But my body got used to it... This is when I lived in Poland, Gdansk ..... A good childhood memory for me.... :)
 
Since my training has been garbage, I can at least post up a pic of me my girls gettin ready for the Pats game!

Holy crap I was actually able to get to the gym today!!! Had a pretty crappy workout, but was able to get some benching and squatting in.
Sets/reps really not even worth mentioning, but hey, at least it was something for right now.
Hopefully be able to start getting some actual legit updates on here soon.

Cheers,
Wade

Got a decent workout in today. Did a lot of focus on my Deads as far as approach and setup for next weekend. Did 2x5 on all weights. 135/225/275/315/345/365.
365 still flew off the ground, so that's a good sign, and no grip issues since I kindof took my time. If I feel this good on meet day, 400+ should be no issue.... Fingers crossed!!!
Played around with my wrapped squating after that. First time using them, hurt like hell!!! I may need to widen the stance just a tad in order for them to help at all. I was a little tired after deads, so kept the weight at 225 and just did a bunch of reps to feel it out. Prob do the same thing tomorrow along with my bench/cleans day. Finished off with a buttload of pull-ups and dips. It was nice to get a good amount of work in today, I was worried I was gonna whither away to nothing!
Cheers,
Wade

Makes sense now...I was thinking "that must take forever to move all those little guys"(Jim gafigan voice)
 
Well, submitted my openers, even tho my status for the meet is still up in the air.
Went SUPER conservative since it's gonna be my 1st time out.
Squat 265
Bench 180
Dead 365

Hoping for a 315/215/435 final attempts... We shall see!
Cheers,
Wade

Looks good, man

thanks. I may squat without the wraps, since I haven't had much time to use them. It'll be a day of decision. If I get a good 2nd attempt I may just say screw it and go huuuuge for my 3rd. Talk about poor planning!!! Hahaha
