COMMENTS
  • General: Decided to keep with that wreckless attitude and test back squat today even though I was taxed from yesterday severely. I was happy with a 10# PR but really believe on a fresh day I have 335 or even more in me. I benched today to check my form out since I'm reading Starting Strength right now and I wanted to make sure I was doing all the minor things correct. My CFT is officially 905, a 40# increase from the 865# I hit at the end of January 6 weeks ago.
  • Nutrition: Good. 1/3 gallon of whole milk for recovery. I might drink it tomorrow too depending.
  • Body: Shoulders and lower back are sore. Something hurts on the right side of my neck from not warming up properly to press yesterday. It's happened before so I know what it is. Nothing big.
  • Sleep: 9.5 hours
  • Reflections: A 40# CFT jump in 6 weeks is a good indication my program is working. I'm well on my way to a 1000# CFT which is one of my goals for the year (if you add the 3 lifts up). I think after the race and some revamping my numbers should go up even more. I'm undecided on tomorrow on resting or training as of now. If anything probably a light day practicing skills or maybe a run or something.
