HaHA! Not awesome yet, but I'm getting there! As for the Abs, I'm working on it! Mike's Diet
Thanks buddy!

Thanks fellas! And a mab sighting too. Thanks Imp!

Man, no lifting since friday and my log is buried 4 pages deep! I need Uncle Ron back!

Just an update as I found a full meet to do here in Richmond April 6th. USAPL Richmond Open. I will finish this cycle around mid Feb. Then I'll probably do a mini cycle of 6 weeks to get ready for the meet in April.

Anyway, I feel GOOD. No issues recovering from those rack pulls which is a bit of a surprise.

I'll update the diet log tonite, then we're back in business with week 7 tomorrow.

Great news Mike! Can't wait to see you dominate in April!!!

[mab54]

Great to see you a meet coming up, wish I could join you again. Had a great time last time meeting you, but have a different meet to go to.

[Squatter]

Good news you will be getting your fix in April!

[BendtheBar]

[ravimolasaria]

Expecting BIG PRs. in April Mike ... Start working now ...

[MikeM]

Yep, back at it today, Ravi. Thanks!

Cheers fellas! I'm pretty sure I set some PRs at the meet. If I go in healthy, I don't see how I couldn't.

Put your meet in your log Imp. If it's not a horrendous drive, I could maybe come out and help you out.

Good day today! Felt great, bench form is coming along. Went for a PR that I shouldn't have gone for and just barely missed, but I'm not worried. It was just a bad rep right at the end when I was tiring.

JB Power Plan week 7

Warmups:
usual shoulder and arm stuff, 3x 12x 140 Lat Pulldowns, wood bar, etc.

Bench:
3x 225, 240,
added belt and wrist wraps
3x 255 (missed fourth rep, was only supposed to do 3 reps, tried for fourth on whim at last minute. Not smart. Live and learn)
added 2 board
1x 255, 285, 295 (Maybe could've done more, but was tired from that missed rep and safeties weren't set quite right, so if I missed, it could have been trouble. So didn't push it)

Tricep pushdown:
4x 8x 150
ss w/ 3x 10x 33 Hammers

Stretching and some mobility stuff and that's it.

3x 255:

3x 255 - YouTube

3x 255 - YouTube

1x 285:

1x 285 2 brd - YouTube

1x 285 2 brd - YouTube

1x 295:

1x 295 2 brd - YouTube

1x 295 2 brd - YouTube

I'd have gone for 305+ on the 2 brd if I'd taken some time to set the safeties exactly right. I'll play around with that on bench aux day so I can mark it for next time I go with any boards.

Anyway, there you go. Rolling along.
