Weekly weight lifted total- 21,322.5 pounds (4 days).
Since beginning of contest- 111,679 pounds.

BENCH PRESS 

1-10-1-20-1-30
FOR WEIGHT

3-2-10-  1 @ 137.5, 1 @ 145, 1- fail @ 150
              10 @ 110, 20 @ 90, 30 @ 80 (25+4+1)

OK, so the singles went pretty good.  145 was a 2 pound PR, I was happy there...happier if I had got the 150, but I had done quite a few bench presses by then.  My 10 set probably could've been a little higher, never really exactly sure where to go with these reps set schemes though.  20's I got this, may have been able to do 95 (maybe), 30's I added 10 additional pounds to what I did for 30 last time... should've stuck with the 5 pound add I did on the other multiple sets, but decided to do 10, I would've definitely been able to get through without a broken set.  My triceps just did not want me to get all 30 in a row...maybe 80 for 30 next time.

HEAVY HELEN

3 ROUNDS
200m RUN
15 KB SWINGS (24kg)
9 WEIGHTED PULLUPS (25#, or least assisted deadhang)

3-3-10-  11.05 (2-2-3-3 bands)

I don't remember for sure, but I don't think I've actually done "heavy" Helen before.  I can live with 11.05.  I did however use higher band assistance than normal for my deadhang pullups because my shoulder was pretty sore.  I don't know what's up with it....but I need it to get better...now.  Hopefully by next time this one comes up I'll be able to go to a slightly less assistance than normal...

PRESS 3x5
TRHUSTERS 3x5

FOR WEIGHT

3-4-10-  Press- 95, 95 (x4), 90
              Thrusters- 95, 105, 110

If my shoulder hadn't been an issue, my plan had been to get 95 for all 3 sets of 5 on the press or two a 95 and one at 97.5.  I think I could've done more on the thrusters too.  The squatting of the weight definitely the easy part.  The press part was OK, but Coach said my left side was not getting up as high or as fast.  The hand position transistion I will need to work on more as it really is better if you are not holding the weight in your hands, especially if you want to do good weight.

BACK SQUATS 
5x5
FOR WEIGHT 

3-5-10- 175, 185, 195, 205, 215

I was going to start at 185, but I was sharing a bar with Gary and he wanted to start at 175, so for ease of changing weights...I went with it.  We went up 10 pounds each round.  These felt better than the last 2-3 times we've done them.  If I had started at 185, I think I would have tried 220 for the last set, but am OK with these numbers.  

This next week...better sleep should be starting....
