Train insane or remain the same…

Felt good to deadlift.  I haven’t really done much (relatively) heavy lifting since the competition in May.  i went and talked to my doctor last month about everything that happened and he’s okay with me starting back up.  I’m trying to keep it day-to-day though.  i am not going to get myself all hyped up over the next time i’m going to get on stage.  I know I want to do it soon though.  Feb ‘09 is a loose target for my next competition.  I want to set the state record for Push-Pull so I need to be able to put up a few good numbers.  Squats have been coming along since I started working the yoga into my weekly schedule.  I don’t know if I’ll be able to get deep enough or put up a good enough weight to make it worth entering a competition.  Actually, I don’t even have a good bench at the moment so there’s plenty to work on the next few months.  My only goal through it all is to be somewhat consistant and keep from having any injuries.  So it’s all slow and easy from here.  I pulled 275 yesterday and i know I could have gone up a lot higher, but I haven’t DL’ed in a while so i decided to not push it.  My competition goal right now is to pull 400 or better.  I plan to get under the bar soon but I think working the dumbbells for a little while will do me more good.  I always had good progress working with dumbbells.  Whenever I get too caught up in benching, I seem to find some kind of injury.  I never have a spotter and maybe that’s what’s killing me.  Either way, i’m going to take it slow and get under the bar when the time is right.
