OUUUUUUCH

TUESDAY MARCH 15, 2011

Siince the meet in December, my training, eating and sleeping have gone a little amuck. 

December 9 - Meet in Lake George - solid

December, January - lots of travel, sick, lost about 15 pounds, training was minimal and pedestrian at best.

February 19 - 28 - Home. Ahhh - Ross suggested I do all three lifts every training session for 3 weeks - went well for 10 days - started to feel a little more comfortable under a little weight - put on some gear (bench up to 250 - miss; squat up to 375x5 - full gear; deadlift up to 3 plates for 5 reps - full gear)

March 1 - Sarasota Fl - trained only 1 day

March 6 - to Los Angeles - conference, a little illness - no training

 

March 15 - BACK TO GYM IN WEST VIRGINIA - Finally, here's the OUUUUUUCH - squatted 135 in power rack in West Virginia and my legs are on fire from the effort!

TRAINING

Bench up to 3 x 135

Squat 135 x 6 x 5 sets

Deadlift 

8 x 135

6 x 185 

3 x 235

 

EATING 

Better - 3 regular meals, bad snacks, need to buy protein

 

SLEEP

Better - 2 solid sleeps in a row - yeah!

 

HEAD

Feel like I may never be able to lift heavy again, but know this is just a reaction to the effort and commitment required to gain back my strength and form - need to get into a routine of being home at Montreal Barbell & Kuma to make it happen. I need the encouragement of my team, inspiration from teammates like Shawna, Shany and the rest of the guys to help me turn my fear of the effort into determination to achieve 

 

thanks for reading - I will start with my commitment to this page
