So this was the first time I've wore my Ginny shirt since Nov /06 and it was like I've trained in it every workout in that time. I was only going to go to 515 which is my planned opener but it was so easy I had to do another 535 was all so very easy and I didn't jack the shirt up. I didn't see the point in going heavier as I was just checking to see how the training was going. I think I will wear an old shirt in training to the meet as I don't seem to need time in the Ginny shirt. very cool day

well this has made up my mind I am going to Toronto. By the time I pay a member ship to the gpc, buy a new shirt that may or may not work for me, and pay to travel to Calgary it will only be a few hundred dollars more to go to Toronto for the CPO meet. I'm more interested in lifting in the wpc anyway so this works on that level as well . Well now for my week off weight training.
Oh and by the way I was very happy with todays numbers.

You never know, I had a very busy day and it was 7:00 pm before I got into my gym and I didn't want to be there. I cranked up lamb of god on the stereo and had a great workout ;)
who would have thought

Friday

pwr snatches worked up to 70kg x3
sn grip high pulls worked up to 100kgx3 the last set was my best as it was finally heavy enough that I had to use good technique
suspended good mornings up to 495/3
poor man stones work up to 85 kg This lift makes me appreciate how strong the strongman guys are getting it to my knees is no problem but keeping it high on my chest almost on my shoulder while standing up requires a lot of strength in the upper erectors and I haven't even tried walking with this weight yet let alone running with it. I can't wait for the snow to go so I can start training outside again .

I must be fat again

Well I think this makes it official, twice this week at work, as I was walking past two different people they rubbed my belly and walked away laughing. The other clue I got this week was when I mentioned to my lovely wife that I wanted to gain another ten pounds, she just stared at me and mumbled something like fat bastard.
