First Breakdown of Bodyweight Data and Deadlift Ruminations

Been checking my BW before bed and in the morning to get a determination of what my real BW is. Checked from the night of 9/30 until the morning of 10/12.

Average Night Weight: 248.25

Average Morning Weight: 245.53

Average BW: 246.9

Average overnight loss: 2.72

Range of Night Weight: 243.8 to 251.4

Range of Morning Weight: 241 to 248

Range of Overnight Loss: 1.4 to 3.8

Adjusting for low end removal due to skewed data (weight loss for making weight)
Avg: night: 248.65
Avg. morning: 245.94
Avg. BW: 247.3
Avg. ONL: 2.71

All told, I am happy with my BW even though I have not been eating as cleanly as I would like to. Should be able to be at about 246/247 for the Sunday before the meet. Will do all my warmups on Monday and will weigh myself again then as well. Will start the drop Wednesday or Thursday, depending on BW.

My deadlift was interesting last night. I was able to remain focused and calm even while everything was feeling heavy. Usually I start freaking out inside if my warmups are heavier than usual, but even when 405 felt like 505, I kept my focus. I think having to train someone aids in this. Even when I am not lifting I have to focus on something. I remeber 485 feeling terrible, 515 feeling terrible and 545 feeling terrible, but I was able to complete all three sets. There was no doubt in my mind with 545. There should have been, but there was not. I told myself it was only thirty pounds over 515 and if I only pulled it once it was a PR, but was able to pull three.

Mike wanted to know if i was going for six wheels next week. Part of me wants to, but I have been able to get to this point sticking to my percentages. So far, they seem to be dead on. 575 is the goal for next week. Have to rememeber that it is only 30lbs more than this week and if I only pull it for one it will be a PR.

I, of course, want two.

Danny hit 405 on the squat tonight. 2 singles. First was tentative, second was all him. Mike hit 495 x 2 again. It was nice to see them do stiff legs afterward.

545 for 5 on a night where everything felt heavy. I am right where I need to be. Next week will be the most important week. 585 for a triple.

Damnit, I should be a judge on this show. I been training for 37 years to be part of this. Me and Johnny C giving everyone what's for about their hot fudge remalade. Pisses me off that noone contacted me. Seriously, I would eat everything on this show.
