Thanks! I'm 16 days out now.
It's been an interesting week:
Last Wed (8/2 or 3)
Bench: up to 181*3 warm up then I couldn't take it anymore. My elbow was ded. I think I may have overdone it on the grasting bc I had it done the day before but it felt weird after and I tried to tell myself it was fine, went in and it was like nope. The weight didn't feel heavy warming up it just hurt so I'd like to think I did the smart thing by shutting it down.
Nothing else but 45 min walk uphill, yeah it was that bad.
Friday Sumo
250*5*4
GSLDL: 185,205,225,205,185*6s
..
Abs: plt sb: +45*40*2
floor situp: +25plt*35*3
Paused bench: 165*6*4 kinda hurt still but not as bad as Wed.
BW: 166.2. Exactly same as last time. Less than a lb over so perfect.
Mon Squat
SSB squat: Supposed to be 205, actually was 219 or 229 I think *3*4 but between the bar and the kg plates idfk.
..
XXWPB: 135*5*5 elbow seemed to be improving
Abs: stand cc: stack*35*3
Sled: +2plts suicides*10 rounds
10 min airbike thing
Wed Bench
Bench: 220*3*4 first couple sets were kinda meh, not like I failed or he touched it they were just a lil ugly on the first reps I guess I was kinda unsure cause the elbow or whatever. But the last 2 sets I thought were pretty good. 3rd one is on IG.
FP: 187*4*3 PR felt good to go heavier on these finally.
OHP: stayed same but wasn't as hard as last time. I kinda wanted to go up but I didn't wana be stupid after the elbow thing so I'll go up a little if they're feeling good next wk.
...
Abs: wheel: +35plt*20*3
Walk uphill 20 min.
So yeah I'm glad this week it felt better. It was kinda like trying to mindfuck me at 3 weeks out but I was like naw fuck that be positive it'll get better and didn't rly get in my feels about it or come on here and bitch about it like I woulda before lol. It's almost like this thread isn't all Herman's Heady anymore.. Almost....
This week is standard Saturday XXWPB on Fri:
155*5*5
Bc going to GA to USPA meet and then last heavyish DL Sunday. I'll probably weigh in this Friday.
Also thank you for posting me on GGL John, but I'm still gonna beat u on GSLDLs soon. How much are you doing lately?
Idk if I'm still doing the GF Invitational this year I gotta see if its too soon or not.. There's also a meet in IN for money in Dec which I feel like I might could win just because the other IN weight class record holders' wilks' are slightly lower than my last Wilks from botb unless they were all at the very bottom of their classes then we had about the same Wilks. So idk yet. I was also thinking about a RPS meet at my gym but I just found out I was wrong that's in Oct not Dec like I thought but they do have a Dec USPA meet.. Idk. We'll see what happens..
