I have decided on a meet! November 24, 2018, I will be competing in the EPC Finals in Guelph, ON. This was the meet where I tore my quad in 2017. I have 2 goals:

• Get to the meet healthy
• Build momentum for the future

If there is a PR there, I will take it, but I am playing the long game from here on out.

I honestly did not know what to expect from this session as I was still a bit sore from block pulls Monday.  Things ended up going very well and my confidence is building in the wraps.  I have some things to iron out, especially my walk-out, but I am happy to be where I am 10-wks out.  Bodyweight is sitting just under 230lbs and I have been very consistent with the diet.  This is definitely the most muscular I have ever been and I think as I continue to adjust to the heavier weights, I will begin to notice how big of a difference that will make.  So far the biggest thing is work capacity – I literally don’t get tired from a cardiovascular, or mental perspective.  Weights get harder and heavier, but between sets, I am ready to go much quicker than I am used to.  Fun stuff!

The goal of this session was to continue to ramp up the weights from the previous wrapped session.  I have a progression in mind and I am not letting myself get ahead.  Compared to past preps, I am right where I need to be.  Before my last 800+ squat, I ended up with 725×2 before transitioning to singles, so I am essentially trying to recreate that, but spreading it out to facilitate recovery.  It’s always an experiment and I am always learning about my body… which is still feeling quite foreign.
