Good luck. I could never do protein shakes twice a day. I don't really like drinking them so I might get 1 in a week, maybe.

Tuff time indeed, I know the feeling. I've been on low calories lately, trying to get down the the weight class I prefer to compete in, plus weight has been a little higher than I want anyways. It's a struggle. Meet is the 9th so then will get a little break from the lower calories but will probably go back after a couple…

More benching and a little bit of squats. bench 1x3 @ 65, 1x3 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 5x3 @ 99 squat 1x3 @ 108, 2x3 @ 129, 2x3 @ 155, 6x3 @ 175 good morning 5x5 @ 125 bench 1x4 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 4x4 @ 88 db fly 5x8 @ 27.5 (went up earlier than expected so did 8 instead of 10 reps per set)

Max Day Calories didn't go quite how I had initially intended. Had plenty of caffeine earlier but couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. Ended up having just under 1000 calories before going to the gym after 8 pm. Did decent despite that factor though ate a little closer to lifting than usual and stomach wasn't quite sure…

Sheiko 32! The peak cycle/pre-meet prep has begun. Day 1 is super easy because the next lifting session is basically max testing on all three. Only used the belt tonight when I added in an overload since hadn't done those in a while. squat 1x3 @ 108, 1x3 @ 129, 2x3 @ 155, 3x2 @ 165 overload with belt 255 for count of 20…

Thanks Beeps. Have fun in November with all of that. ;-) Last night it was squats and bench, again. Was a challenge but made it through. Did have one guy offer to spot me on bench before my third set but I declined since at that point I was okay. Was nice of him to offer though. Squat 1x5 @ 108, 1x4 @ 129, 2x3 @ 155, belt…

Ended up having to lift two days in a row. My sister is at a music festival and her initial plans fell through so I let her borrow my car so she'd be able to still go have fun. Had to get a lyft home and don't feel like paying for a ride to the gym, so I did deadlifts on Wednesday and squats on Thursday with both involving…

I don’t have exactly numbers but my guess is it will be similar to those at Ben and Jerry locations. They seem a bit pricey for cups of ice cream but people still go there.

I don't know how people work out early in the morning. So sleepy. Then again, I only did it because I woke up at 3 am and couldn't go back to sleep so by 4:30 figured I'd head out to the gym. And it's very true that there are far less people there before 7 am. Though the ones who lift overnight don't seem to put away their…

Ah. I used to live in Oregon and competed in my first meet up there but have since moved down to LA. Will be interesting to see the different in the two locations people wise in relation to the meets. As for workout: I don't know how people work out early in the morning. So sleepy. Then again, I only did it because I woke…

Made it to gym after work. Long session even though I skipped db fly.
