The road to the AAPF Nationals starts. Just under 9 weeks of training until then. We started our training today. Feeling pretty good so far. Before starting yesterday, we wanted to gauge where we were in the squat, bench, and dead. We suited up the 2 weeks prior, and here’s where I currently stand. Squatted 575lbs, benched 410lbs, and deadlifted 525lbs. I can only go up. My goal is to squat 630lbs+, bench 440lbs+, and dead 575lbs+.

2/4/08 - Monday

Bench - warm up with bar, 95×10, 135×10, 135×6, 225×5… broke it down to 135 with the green bands, and did 8 sets x 3 reps w/about 20-30 sec rest.
