Montreal Barbell The PR GYM

Was hoping for a big day, but maybe not quite ready to make the effort. I tried, but again was not as sharp and aggressive as I need to be to hit the bigger numbers with solid form. I did my job, got up to an opener but depth was only to parallel and I struggled to sit back enough and keep my core tight and upright...so thats enuf about what went mediocre. Basically, I'm strong and will be fit for the meet on the weekend and I am trying to view it as a 'training meet' rahter than a high pressure event. 

I was inspired again by Joanick's effort and skill. He is a great lifter and teammate.

I have not quite found my form on the squat, but am ready to rest and eat this week and see what I can do this weekend. It seems a long time since I pulled 455 and I have not pulled since...so I will be fresh there. I am trying to eat some extra carbs this week and should add a couple of pounds for weigh-in...

Ross is the best coach and friend in the world - he knows how to handle me when I am scared, when I have doubts, when I get too cocky - and of course how to help me with form issues and gage my training needs. So, rest and eat - thats this week's preparation -
