Not everything in life is about timing

Written by Zack on September 25th, 2011

Although the timing isn’t ideal (One week after my wedding and Josh is swamped at work) Josh and I decided to enter a powerlifting meet.  It’s a small, non-sanctioned meet…but it’s something to put on the calendar, and a reason to train harder.

We had previously taken a full 2 week break from training, something that I don’t think we’ve ever done.  Starting back this week we were getting back in the flow of the gym and decided to work up to some heavy singles to see where we are at – and more importantly were we need to be.  Squat – I did a triple with 455, Lame.  I think Josh did 365?  Bench – I did 375, again disappointing.  Josh hit 305.  Deadlift – I got 575 and Josh hit 435.  I was pleased with both our deadlift numbers. 

So now we have a base to build on and 8 weeks until showtime, and I’m excited!
