727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq		First look at your journal, your training looks good and I enjoyed your comp write up.

It sounds like you did very well for a first comp, certainly much better than I did. A lot of people will have done a few novices and not moved on. Many of the big guys you mention will never move on.

I think you did well enough to take confidence, and will have learned a lot more than you would have if you had won, so it will probably do more for your development the way it has panned out. You are young, and have plenty time to improve, and seem to have potential. Well done

Took yesterday off to try and recover from sunday's comp, my body is just a mess. However, I dragged myself to the gym to see if I could shake a bit of stiffness away....

Deadlifts:
Bar x Lots
70kg x lots
120kg x 3
170kg x 3
200kg x 3
210kg x 5
230kg x 3
240kg x 2

Of all the muscles I shouldn't have used today, the ones in my back are probably top of the list... Still, happy with a 240kg x 2 in such s**te condition.

Axel Squats:
Axel x lots
60kg x lots
80kg x lots
100kg x 3
100kg x 3
120kg x 3
140kg x 6
160kg x 3

Haven't squatted due to back pain in about 2 months. Just happy I can do it again. Left it there.

End.

Decided to get my name down for "Cheshire's Stronget Man u105kg" in a month. It's a quick turn around after Sunday but I 'd rather that than wait months for another comp over Winter. Will also give me a bit ov u105kg experiance ready for next year.

Did some overhead tonight to mimick the comp a bit. Body is still a bit sore from Sunday.

Log clean + press:
50kg x lots
70kg x lots
90kg x 3
105kg x 1
105kg x 1
105kg x 1
105kg x 1
105kg x 1

Was nervous about the log as I really hurt my back at the start of the year doing it and haven't touched it since. Kept it at comp weight and just happy I can get that up nice and easily without pain!

One Arm Dumbell Press (Thick handle):
31kg x 3
44kg x 1
56.5kg x 1
56.5kg x 1
56.5kg x 1
56.5kg x 1
56.5kg x 1

Comp weight is 55kg but this was the closest I could load it too and just kept it for multiple, quick singles. Never done this before but that weight feals really comfortable so was happy Happy

End.
