Weekly Analysis

Lifts for Week: 187

A light week as I had a good session last week in the Squat Suit, last cycle I was still looking for depth. So did a couple of extra sessions up to 200. This cycle it was the Bench but after today pretty happy. Deadlift we will have to see how it pans out.

Highlights:

Survived the week.

2nd attempt: 222.5kg 3 Whites. Same again.

3rd Attempt: 230kg 3 Whites, surprised at this PB Sumo Hook

Comments:

BW 99.7kgs

Bombed

No excuses

Dropped a bit too much to make weight more mental than anything else.

Squats: The Head everything was out, bit of a conversation on first attempt weight 12 seconds to do the lift rushed took no breath Captain Shallow Squat Struck. The rot set in

Bench: Weight loss changed the shirt, Heart was half there went up 2.5 as the first was not pretty. Hammered from the squats.

Deads: The sun finally shone, Sumo was pretty good 230kg Hook Grip 10kg up on Conventional comp PB, 5 months Sumo some promise here.

I know what happened been here before I can come up with a litany of lies and excuses but there ain't any and I am not at that level where I will blame my bombing on something. s*#t Happens, just not my day there is always another comp glad it was here and not at the Nationals or Oceania's at the end of the year.

Cheers ohjoshua,

Dead was pretty good the lifts were what was in the programme little bit of room for movement, you could say 10ks 5ks but I would be fooling myself, its a max lift as .5 could have stappled me.

Yeah first time I have been caught in a comp, came up a bit quick I think and rocked back on my heels lost balance, and could not quite get back on grove.

Thanks Steak,

It was a cascade effect a whole lot of little things put in motion, that by themselves would have had no effect, but as a group well DNQ. There were heaps of positives from this day, it was really good for me as you learn the most from your mistakes, and I think in hindsight I needed this to happen. The plan has started and the adjustments will be made.
