Personal shit sucks. Okay enough of that. Training up to this January meet I feel has been spotty, sporadic, and disorganized at best. It has accomplished what I needed though. Back in to training, back on the platform, and somewhat back to my old form. I’m happy with my bench and deadlift progress so far. Not so happy with the squat but that’s just mostly because of the gear which I’m not so worried about right now though. After this coming meet I need to get more organized and will start doing that now…

I’ll have 10 weeks to train for the NASA Iowa State meet on April 11th. Here are some goals for that meet:
1. Hit a 1300+ total
2. Beet mike on the pull…. yes Mike I’m challenging you now on the deadlift. 500 or bust buddy!

Where I’m weak and need help:
1. Over head pressing. I’ve always just sucked at it and need to incorporate it more into my training.
2. Bar speed. I’ve always had a slow bar speed in all my lifts and it’s gotten worse. Will need to work more dynamic work back into training
3. Form. I need to work on my form on the squats again. dynamic work will be great for that
4. Overall strength. I really need to bring up my assistance work strength. Never really concentrated on that before.
5. Hit my traps and rear delts more. Just looking to the future here and need more of a platform for the squat bar when I’m in gear.
