620.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq		Comp @ BGWLC
Weighed in 117.4kg, was hovering closer to 115kg 8 weeks ago. Don't really feel the few kilos difference made a massive deal.

Squats
205kg - good lift
220kg - good lift
225kg - fail

Bench
120kg - good lift
130kg - good lift
132.5kg - fail

Deadlift
225kg - good lift
250kg - fail
Pass for third

575kg total - my total has progressively got worse over my last 3 comps LOL.

Squat training was going well, hit a PB 2 weeks out with plenty of rest. Although I never really felt like I was getting massively stronger/more efficient. Ran 2 cycles back to back of RSMR, it was a whole lot of grinding. I'm going to replicate my squat training, to what I did prior to my last 220kg squat. Next comp in November, I want minimum 230kg otherwise this year will just be a waste with no progress.

Bench training was hit and miss due to elbow injury. It's now fine so I can train it properly again. I feel like submaximal bench training has usually gone down well, so this is something I'll look into.

I ran two Ed Coan back to back cycles and was feeing strong going into comp (one at a lighter intensity, one with a 250kg max), think it was just an off day with all my energy zapped from squats and the heat. Will run this again 10 weeks out from next comp, get some volume done in the meantime.

Currently having a well deserved week's rest on holiday, time to graft when I'm back.

560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		It's not easy to put everything together on the day. You managed a few PB's in the gym so you were definitely doing something right. Maybe your deload/peaking needs to be tweaked a bit, or maybe it was just an off day with the heat and whatnot.

Good training is never a waste, even if it doesn't translate into a PB squat on the platform this calendar year. There's always something to learn from the process. At least that's what I keep telling myself! Tongue

It's all a learning curve, gotta hope the next comp is better!

All felt dreadful, my stomach ain't great from holiday and I haven't eaten a great deal. Sure I'll feel much better next week. First week back is always the worst!

Couple of things Paul, just getting some deadlift volume in 3x6, trying to stay beltless, upping the weight. Will put on a belt when I need to. Meant to do some block pulls after too 3x3 - just try something new.

Modified Smolov Jnr cut down to 3x per week and just 5 sets each time.

Squats - couple of paused light sets before deads just for some extra volume, not enough to wear me out.

3x5 in 3 week phases in squat day. 150/160/170, 160/170/180, 170/180/190 - slowly moving on to low bar. Will then start on 5x3x180, up the weight and reduce volume further week by week. Couple of paused reps after main sets too.

Who knows if it will work. Thinking of adding in some conditioning too, controlling calories, just generally shift some weight and feel healthier.

Whether the above will work, who knows!
