I am sitting at 4 weeks out at the end of week 8 and besides my shoulder, everything is moving along. I am still hitting the weights I need to for bench so I can’t complain and it is getting progressively better thanks to 1-2 hours a day of dedicated work. Squats and deads are going really well and I am expecting them to carry my total. I am hitting singles for most of my competition lifts to really dial in form and to maximize recovery. I am not saying reps are bad, but since I am going into PR weights I need to be perfect and practice makes perfect. This is new to me so we will see how it all plays out on Nov 19th. Getting very excited for this meet and leading up to the meet are some huge meets that will showcase some of the best lifters in my weight class and in the 308 plus weight class. Watching the top guys perform really pumps me up and gets me ready for training and the platform. Some people see them and get down, I see them and get excited because I know I will be there soon.
