As I sit here today, I am six days out from my WNPF meet on August, 2nd.  One of my original goals from when I started this journey was to make the 242lb. class.  Well, unfortunately that is not going to happen.  I am working on making the 275lb. class, and hitting some big numbers along the way.  Big numbers to me and my powerlifting career.

A few nights ago I hit an easy bench session.  I worked up to 185lbs. for 3x3 with a choked elitefts.com orange light bands.  I then hit 185lbs. for 3x3 with the choked light band and double choked mint green elitefts.com monster mini bands.  This proved to be heavier than I thought, but the resistance at the top will be extremely helpful for handling the heavier weights this upcoming weekend.  I am realizing that my gym numbers now in the bench are not as high as when I was in my early and mid 20's.  I look through my old training journals on a regular basis.  I probably look at them more than I should, but it is a reminder of what I once was capable of doing.  My best geared numbers are pretty respectable, to me anyways.  My raw numbers are slowly taking shape.  I will be opening with numbers this weekend that I could not come close to a year ago.  The little man was just born, and I trained seven weeks for my competition back then, in September, 2013. 

Below you will find my last heavy squat session.  It was my second time training at North Coast Barbell.  The weights went up much easier, which is nice.  I took 3 singles at 525lbs.  The depth was pretty good on all three.  You can jud  I plan on taking 525lbs. as my squat opener.  550lbs. for my 2nd.  Maybe 565lbs. for my 3rd.  We'll see what happens when I get there.
