LtL's Training Log

Thanks guys. I'm itching to lift now.

[Squatter]

Sinking the bar into my chest at the pause also cost me a red light by the rear judge at the meet. Thankfully the other 2 judges either didnt see it or disagreed. Nice to see you got it sorted on the 2nd attempt Al.

I also do not like taking the whole pre-meet week off. I also did a lossen up blood flow session and felt it was a big help. I also went for a professional massage which also helped. I should have went for one afterwards as well.

Sounds like you have a great stepdad in-law. I can attest to the stress relief in having a competent handler. Collin in Vegas allowed me to worry soley about my lifts.

I wish you all the best Al. What level is this meet? Ie a qualifier for nationals or something like that?

I also have to thank you again for all the meet advice you gave me prior to my first meet. It was golden and refelcts what a consummate professional you are wrt your lifting. It does rub off on me and i am sure many other members here. Very happy and proud of you my friend.

Thanks man. This is a National Qualifier but even if I go 9/9 and hit all of my goal numbers, I'll still be 30kgs shy of the minimum standard. If all goes well though I will do another meet in March/April next year and hopefully qualify then.

I see. What are the minimum lifts for equipped? They must have pretty high ones. Nonetheless, you will get there because nobody trains harder and smarter Al.

Qualifying total for the 93kgs class is 705kgs.

MEET WEEK PREP DAY ONE

Water consumed ~ 5litres (just over a gallon).

Knee wrapping practice.

Stretching and PVC roller work. Cracking my back and inflicting that special kind of hell which is rolling IT bands.

Need to do something this week while I'm not lifting. Water intake will rise slowly over the week. Morning weight was 94kgs before I started today so should comfortably make 91-92kgs on Sunday. Feeling good.

That's a big total but WHEN you make it you'll be there with some of the best UK guys.
