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.

Training is going very well right now.  It’s challenging, but I am recovering (I have kinda been pushing this a bit).  You’ll notice that last week I squatted high bar and pulled from the floor and this week I squatted in wraps and pulled from blocks.  I also lifted lighter last week than this week.  I am trying to concentrate my heavy loading for lower body into 1 week to facilitate recovery.  So, out of every 4 weeks (including deloads), I will only lift heavy for 2 of them.  It’s early on, but even after the heavy week, I am still feeling really good.

The deadlift from blocks is a big weak point for me.  When I was working with Byrd, we pushed my block pull hard and I PR’d my deadlift.  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  You can see my mid back just does not want to stay locked in from that height.  On the squat, I used the same weight as my first time in wraps a few weeks ago, but as you can see, it moved 100x better.  I made two changes – I went back to a heeled shoe and I tried to stay more upright (like I used to before the injuries).  The heeled shoe feels more natural and I feel more stable overall.  The upright posture is keeping my hips underneath the bar and letting me turn the squat into a standing leg press, like it should be.  All good things this week on the squat – a big win in my books.
