So I'm starting deload again - really need it after the last three weeks of heavy lifting. Made some significant progress in some areas (managed to pull 315 on my deadlift for 4 just this past week) and some minor progress in other areas (squat form is slowly getting better and my confidence in the lift is SLOWLY improving).
This week is all about focusing on my form in all my lifts - light weight=perfect opportunity to do a serious form check - every lift as perfect as I can get it. I'm also planning to focusing a little more on the cardio this week - let it slide a little the last few week, but I need to get back at it.
My weight is still stuck - even though I'm eating and doing everything I should be - and its super frustrating. I NEED to get some of this weight off, for competition yes, but also for me - I HATE being stuck like this. I just keep plugging on - hoping that at some point my body will realize that its ok to let it go - really looking forward to the day that happens.
Still working on my attitude adjustment - trying to stay positive and trying to reduce the amount of "whining" that I've been doing - lifting hurts, really need to learn to suck it up and live with the pain because pain=progress in this particular arena. Talking about it doesn't make it hurt less - just makes it more annoying.
Planning on remaxing all my lifts next week - I'm expecting increases in Deadlift and Squat (assuming I can get my form right), Bench still feels weak to me - all I can do is keep working and hope that things fall into place when I need them to.
