* Notes:

- Did you notice the infinite amount of sets with 20kg.  For the life of me, I could not get warmed up today.  My low back is completely ruined after spending the entire day installing a tile platform -- close to 1700lbs of rubber moved from my driveway into the basement.  I'm toast.

* Notes:

- The toll of fighting off a cold has finally made it's mark.  I started squatting earlier in the morning but had to rest due to a generalized state of fatigue along with a relentless cough that's draining me.  I did manage to get under the barbell later in the day, but even then, back squatting 170kg was a gift.

170kg Back Squat

* Notes:

- I'm dead tired today and nursing a super tight right knee that doesn't want to cooperate with anything that involves a quick movement.  Due to my unexplainable lack of energy and troublesome right knee, I've decided to make a couple adjustments to the training program.  Namely, I'm going to squat more during the training week.  The idea behind this adjustment is that my knees felt much better when I squatted everyday, compared to twice per week.  The frequent squatting seems to keep my knees more supple and less prone to injury and tightness.  So, I'm going to attempt incorporating more squats per week -- hopefully everyday.

* Notes:

-  I finally got off my ass and competed at a local weightlifting meet today.  I went 6 for 6, a first!  Plus, I broke the Missouri Valley Weightlifting's Masters (45-49 age group) 109kg weight class state record with a 105kg snatch, 130kg power clean + power jerk, totaling 235kg.  The previous record was 93kg snatch and 112kg clean and jerk.  I surpassed that benchmark by 30kg -- not to fucking shabby for only training 4 weeks in preparation for this meet.

Unfortunately, I have zero video coverage of my attempts, because I participated in this event alone -- acting as my own coach, attempts counter, and athlete.  In hindsight, I wish I would have asked someone to record the record breaking lifts; however, I decided to pass on the thought.  Instead, focusing on getting the job done and not memorializing it with a video clip.  I chose paper as my vehicle to memorialize my efforts.
