Squat Night

Nothing to special last night in Forza gym.  I got a quick squat session in, working up to 365/5.  Then I hit some barbell shrugs 135/10, 185/10/10/10/10.

This weekend I will be tentatively planning my training cycle for my meet on August 2, 2014.  My training partner Tim will be competing as well.  We competed a couple times in the fall, but have not stepped on the platform since November. 

Tim is primed for a big total.  He has great squat numbers, and an even better pull.  Once he gets his bench on track, he will easily total over 1300 at 181.

I am still planning on a 550/325/500.  Nothing really special in the big picture of raw numbers, but big enough for me.  I am confident I will hit those numbers come August.  I have a fantastic support system in place and a fairly well-equipped garage gym that meets my needs at this time.  Most importantly, my wife continues to be supportive and understanding during this time.  I train at night, when our son goes down for the evening.  This is usually between 8pm and 9pm, after the house has been cleaned after dinner.
