Today was the day for me to really freaking cheat. I wore a suit, I used knee wraps and I used these mystical bands that lift all of the weight for me. I don't even think I was actually there since I didn't really do anything lol.
Well that is what a newbie raw dumbass would think anyways.
So back to reality. I took 955 lbs today to depth and felt pretty good about it. My back felt good, the weight felt good, and my pick up was damn near perfect for me. My weight projection for this training cycle is 920 lbs but I was feeling a little frisky today and thought I would ride with ten plates and some change today. Luckily this was not a stupid move and nothing bad happening or even worse missing the lift, so I will take today as a win win.
My teammates were great today. They really help me more than what I think they even realize. Their belief and support in me does wonders for this old mans confidence and soul. I am very blessed to be surrounded by these individuals that I call not just teammates but my family.
I will keep dropping down in bands over the next couple of weeks and see how my progress continues.
