Notes: Started prepping for a show in late August today. It looks really fun, I can train basically all the events, and it's within 30 minutes. Plus with my bodyweight being in striking range of 175 everything lined up perfectly. I'm excited.

Two weeks of Easy Strength was a good idea. I'll definitely come back to something like that if I'm ever feeling burned out. Today went well. Nothing too crazy, just got in a bit of work to build on going forward.

Notes: Decent day today. Cut it short again. I put two and two together and realized I've been dealing with allergies the last couple of weeks, just wanted to get inside and immediately felt better when I did. I still hit the two things I really wanted to today so I'm happy about that. As my glutes are catching up I'm realizing my upper back could definitely still use some work. so I'll need to hammer that a bit going forward as well.

Notes: This felt really good all around. Box squats were meh, felt like every third deadlift was perfect though. I figured out that cueing "tuck the tail" really helped me glide to lockout and use my glutes properly. Gonna be drilling the crap out of that for a few weeks for sure.

Notes: Good day today. I was trashed coming into it, but warming up I felt better. Front squat AMRAP likely the culprit here. Everything felt good, I had some trouble finding a rhythm with the split jerk today, but focusing on being fast and explosive helped everything fall into place. I feel ridiculously strong right now.

Notes: Good day today. Did things a bit out of order due to some timing issues. Might've had another rep for front squats, but I'd already hit the PR so I called it there. The timed AMRAP was BRUTAL. Also I feel like I'm making significant progress with my hips and bracing, I'm feeling very optimistic.

Notes: Salvaged a decent day today after an equipment mishap. Was feeling fried from yesterday, just a lot of new movements to acclimate to. Plan in my head was some kind of clean and press variation, but between angry posterior chain and the rain it wasn't in the cards, so I decided to play with the new toys and do an honest-to-god pin press and it was a good decision, other than the stands tipping over because I wasn't paying attention.

Notes: Sumo is a great variation for me. Maybe it's in my head but I could literally feel the carryover to my conventional lockout. Honestly everything I did today was golden. I might could've gotten another 10 or so pounds on the ME, but my right lat was feeling really squirrely on the eccentric so I shut it down. Primary goal was still accomplished so no need to try and be a hero

Notes: This went good. Short on time so decided to do a timed AMRAP for backoff/supplemental work and it was a really good idea. I might start incorporating more of that, easy way to save time and work on rep endurance and also seems to be in line with the goal of straining.

Brought up the calories a bit this week, so we'll see how that impacts everything. Gonna start tapering up out of this cut for a diet break and to let me really focus on hammering everything I need to get the 500 deadlift. Once I hit that milestone I'll have my eye on a 525 @ 175 for a 3x BW pull, but one thing at a time.

Notes: Good day today. Deadlift felt like crap at first, but after I got into it started moving better. The chains are a pain though. I'll have to figure out a better way to set these up. Events went good, my fourth carry was a PR, even though I flubbed the pick so that was cool.

Notes: Today was meh. Wanted more on the front squats, but didn't have it in me. My shoulders were still super tight from Monday, so front squats were a doubly good idea as I was forced to work some blood into them to hold the front rack properly. Supplemental and assistance work is progressing well so we'll see how things go.

Bodyweight seems like it's finally moving again as well, which is a relief. Just a few more weeks and I'll be at my lowest bodyweight in close to two years.

Notes: Weighed in a little heavier this morning, eased off the gas pedal a bit over the weekend for this cut. Floor press went horrible.

Notes: This was awful and took close to two hours, but went good overall. Still carrying some fatigue from split jerks yesterday, so decided no speed squats for the next 3 weeks at least. I'll have to add a squat of some kind to ME day next week, I don't want to cut the movement pattern out entirely.

 I managed to get my time on the carry down to 8 seconds on the third run so that was good. Still some low-hanging fruit if I can clean up the pick. Otherwise just need to move my feet faster. Deadlift went good, not wearing shoes changes my leverages more than I expected. Might need some deadlift slippers.

Notes: Playing around with backoff sets for supplemental work. Honestly think it worked really well, especially in regards to training density. Cutout a lot of setup time. Hip thrusts are going to have to be a STAPLE going forward, doing a few sets made me realize just how far behind my glutes are compared to my hamstrings. Paused deadlifts emphasized that too.

Sandbag carries went good too, clean up the tech and I can probably get down to 8 seconds easy. I might also actually be able to train some yoke on the sidewalk as well, but it'll be a pain in the ass. We'll have to give it a go and see
