The rep PRs continue to fall over the past week and despite feeling pretty run down mentally, training has been moving in a great direction. I look forward to competing again here soon (hopefully sometime in the winter/early spring and taking a shot at 198 again.
After this final week of training I'll be writing a recap article about this 6-week experience and including some research on transcranial direct stimulation; as well as my thoughts on how I organized training and what worked/what didn't.
