so what is the plan for you? North Americans or Nationals?
ugh, i wish - just needed a plan to get back on track with some structure - looking for maybe usa 2018, i think this year is out of the question with the little one, and work.

It gets harder and harder to compete as we get older. We get busier and busier and our body's hurt more and more! Well at least that is my story! I would have done 3 shows this year if it hadn't been for my knee.

That is always the case! Everything is in the hips. HAHH! BEEN READING a lot about knee issues stemming from tight hips. Give it a shot and see if I can get some alleviation. Your coach seems like a legit dude!
Do you record everything you do and poundage's and what not per session?
I used to, i dont anymore - since being old and beat up, i just try to go as heavy as possible for the rep scheme at hand - if im doing sets of 8, ill keep adding weight until i get to a weight that is hard, then i will stick with that. I would like to start recording numbers again, but at this point i dont.

I hear you! I just started again to form some type of system to track overload. Works but when you get a tweak here and there it puts a hex on the whole thing.
Went to the beach Tuesday after work - Saturday. Got a few good lifts in at Atilis gym in ocean city new jersey, one of my fav gyms of all time. Diet was good during the day, ate whatever i wanted at night - was actually pretty beneficial i think, weight is up 5lbs, but still hard and pretty lean. Like ive said in previous posts, my food consumption has been down, so i think the 5+ days of "dirty" meals at night did the body good. Back on the diet today for legs!

So many factors play into it; sleep, training time, diet, hydration, etc. When guys like you and others have all that down to the fraction, I guess recording everything is good. I tend to keep track of my main, PL-movement for the day (how much weight for how many reps, type of bar, chains or bands, etc) in an effort to revert back when its time to set a new PR on that same movement. Accessories aren't recorded. I just go with it. Sometimes I'm training at 6am fasted. Sometimes I'm coming off nights, sleeping 3hrs, and training mid-day but its really morning for me. It's all fucked.
