November 12, 2022: DL

Been taking it easy after near-max, mini-meet day on Tuesday. Not doing nothing, but also not doing anything worth writing down. Some NP (forward press), some windmills with bw, 4kg and 6 kg. Did my first water cut, a trial run, this past week, culminating with taking water pills on Friday then stopping eating and drinking at 3:30 pm. The water the previous few days took me from 154 to 151.8, and the overnight got me to 150 lbs even on Friday morning, and this is with essentially no food or salt restrictions. Great news, means I could do this again and then sweat out 1.5 lbs the morning of the weigh-in and be good to go. Today, Saturday, 1 week until the meet AM: some DL's at 195 lbs PM: DL: 195 lb x 3 125 kg x 3 overhand 125 x 3 r/u (least favored) 140 x 3 l/u (favored) - lats could have been more active but still felt easy
