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.

As you can see from the video, things are going fantastic.  I did get a nose bleed, but before anyone starts yelling, “BRUHHHH that is so hardcore!” I get nosebleeds often when it’s dry out and I forget to put water in my CPAP… well, guess who forgot to put water in his CPAP?  Yup, ME!  I don’t have BP issues and in fact I find the nosebleeds super inconvenient.

That aside, this a volume PR on the deadlift and I don’t think this weight has ever moved this well for me.  I am really stoked with my deadlift training and excited to keep the momentum going.  My plan had actually called for 605, but I did some quick math and in order to hit the heavy days I want to closer to the meet, a small bump to 615 makes things more even and gradual.  I did NOT expect the session to be this smooth.  I was very much ready for a grinder.
