Time is ticking away and that day is coming closer. One thing I have learned about training for strength based contests is that you really feel the strength and progress as you near the date. You can look back upon the numbers over the last days, weeks, months and see how much progress you have made.
Presses
24/5/5x2
28/3/3x1
32/3/3x2
40/2/2x4
40/1/1x4
Connecting the dots from the floor to my brain sure makes it much easier to move the weight. I felt the power surge today, especially the last 2 singles.
Squats
275/5x5
THis was much a bigger load and I could feel the body having to work more to handle the loads. At the same time I could feel that I am much stronger and better with the move as a whole. Also, I know why people prefer singles, doubles and even triples to the 5x5.
Yoga: 30 minutes

Joe,
sets of 5 are very annoying ;)
Singles and doubles rule!
BTW - yoga is a great part of your routine.
thank you Brett, always appreciate your taking time to read and give feedback.
The one thing I realize about singles and doubles, is the loads are much heavier and that is super cool ;-)
Heavy is good ;)
