This was not part of my training plan for the meet, instead this was supposed to be the heaviest week of training before the meet. But, after talking with Shawna and Al Mehan, we decided that I should take another week of rest and do my heavy week two weeks before the meet, when Al comes down to train with us. So, for my training this week - lots of sleeping, resting, eating and drinking water. I didn't even load weights at the gym.

Tuesday, raw bench

skipped, not training

Wednesday, deadlift

skipped, not training

Friday, Shirt bench - light training

135 x 10

225 x 5

315 x 1

loose shirt

425 x 1

455 x 1

475 x 1, went up the best.

Still taped my elbow, everything felt good. Consulted with Shawna and we decided that I should stop there. I am planning to go very light in the squat on Sunday, then next week go heavy, hoping that with rest the weights will feel light. Then, two weeks of rest and perform my best at the meet.
