My ADD Training Log - 2012

Good luck with the meet prep, Calvus.

It'll be cool to see you compete.

Nice lifting and nice eating! Cool about the Highland Games guy too, he could be a useful resource.

Yeah thanks - I agree about the help from the guy - just having trouble scheduling the meet-up with him now..

Well, if you don't want that pizza, spaghetti, lasagna etc. I'd be more than happy to eat it!

I'm sure. BTW, it was home-made tacos last night. I ate mine inside a lettuce leaf instead of corn tortilla, and I also sauteed some extra veggies.

Thanks miaou! I'm really looking forward to it!
 
You're going to kill it at this meet. Based on your training--and based on what I've seen of your lifting--nine-for-nine should be the goal.

Just remember that practice makes perfect, so do some training under the conditions in which you'll be asked to compete. Get used to doing competition-style lifts. If you've got someone to give you commands, great; if not, pretend. Even if it's meaningless sub-maximal work, it'll help. The only fear I've ever felt during a powerlifting meet was when I got up to squat my first time and wasn't sure if unracking it without a judge's signal would red-light me. Most of us freak out a bit about messing up on the rules, so I advise people to rehearse before a meet, especially a first meet.

Thanks Keo!! This is exactly what I did during my training session on Monday. I played the commands out in my head while squatting & benching. I plan on continuing this with my workouts between now & Sept 15th. I'm also reading & re-reading the rules :)

Deadlift felt pretty good today, I felt like 405 was pretty easy. 455 felt heavy, but I pulled it no problem. I need to mentally just get used to "the weight is heavy but I can still lift it". I'll pull heavy again next week, and then deload the week prior to the meet.
 
How can you prep for maximum athletic performance without curls?

I can't even imagine the level of swoleness your gunz must have been at. That is awesome sir.
 
"Is this chalk or protein powder? "

Does it matter ?


I've always wanted to ask that.

hmmmm.....I dunno? I've unintentionally mixed them before. But now I pretty much always get chocolate protein, so at least its a different color than the chalk...
