Monday - TEST and 80% average
EQ Bench Press
up to 95% x1

Went up pretty well...the shirt wasn't jacked up very much either. This is a good sign. Good enough that I can go for the win if I have to at Worlds.

2 Board Press
385 x4 @7
420 x4 @8
455 x5 @9

CG Bench Press
360 x3 @7
385 x3 @7.5
410 x3 @8

Got a lot of momentum now. All I need to do is focus on the contest. Visualizations. Hitting another decent 80% avg. workout, deload, cut a little weight...the contest is here! I feel very good physically. Never felt so strong before. It's a mental game from here on out. I need to focus on the goal.

Had a really good time at Worlds. Got 6th place and ended with a 611 second attempt. I felt really strong, but my gear didn't fit properly. I put my shirt on by myself in about 10 seconds. And I took it off in even less time. I went for the Gold on my last attempt and was about 3 inches from locking it out. Frustrating because I have doubled 640 before. Oh well. I made some mistakes that I won't make again. I have no regrets about how I lifted.

Good news though. Team USA won team GOLD!!!!! It was a great experience that will only make me a more effective lifter. I got to lift alongside a lot of my heros.

Monday - Bench / Squat / ABS
Equipped Reverse Band Press - new stock super katana 50 blue
455 x6 @6
495 x5 @7
535 x8 @7
535 x8 @8

Raw Box Squat - no belt
225 x5 @6
315 x5 @7
405 x5 @8

ABS x3x15

Trying even more frequency for a few weeks. I will be spreading out everything between 6 days instead of 4.

From 6th to gold with only 29 pounds seperating you. Sounds like a good competition! Good work man. Awesome to hear you had a great time on your trip, and that 611 is still pretty nasty!

Very Easy trying to train the upper body 6x per week. Very interesting so far. I feel great! I'll keep going for a couple more weeks. I am liking it. However that may change as the intensity rises. We'll see.

I just got another Super Katana stock 48 that I'll try. I've been lifting with 50s for a very long time, but most guys in my class at worlds were wearing tighter shirts than I was. I could swim in mine. Really curious to try a tight one out!
