Meet Results for April 14, 2018

April 14, 2018, Saturday - BP and DL at APF meet in Tribes Hill, NY.

Disappointing results:

BP: 165, 175, fail at 180

DL: 315, 335, fail at 360

First BP in a decade or more, also learning I need to stop taking 3 DL's - have taken 3 each of the last several meets and failed at every third attempt.  Also weighed in same day and at USAPL weight of 66 kg (145.5 lbs.)

BP, DL

Been taking time off for the upcoming meet.  I had kicked around the idea of making it a low-key meet and therefore not tapering, but not doing my best at a meet just isn't in my nature, so we're in the midst of a nice stretch of very little lifting.

Last lifting was a week ago, so this is a 10-day-or-so taper.

Today,

BP: 135 x 2, 1 and 165, my planned meet opener, x 1

DL, all with competition (l/u and r/o) grip

225 x 3 tng
275 x 1
315 x 1

BP

Wednesday

short walk

warmup:

GS: 24 kg x 3, 36 kg x 2

BP: week 3, session 1

95 x 5
115 x 3
135 x 4
145 x 3
165 x 1

Planned: 135 x 3, 115 x 2
Actual: 135 x 9

DL, Ab Wheel

Tuesday:

DL: bar on 4" blocks

reps w/ same weight done w/ standup reset and a few breaths between

225 x 1 r/u
225 x 1, 1 l/u - needed to push harder w/ left foot, hence 2nd rep

275 x 1 r/u
275 x 1 l/u

315 x 1 r/u
315 x 1 l/u

370 x 1 r/u

370 x 1 l/u - tiring but doable

390 x fail x r/u - lower back felt fatigued, didn't even bother to complete getting weight off the blocks.  Felt tired even approaching the bar.  Just couldn't get tight.  Next time, 375, 380, or 385 for more than 2 reps will be the goal - this is too heavy after 370, and maybe too heavy, period.  I think 375 would be prudent.

OHP: stick x 20

Wheel: 4th step, standing x 5 singles
