Pretty meh week in terms of lifting.  My season starts October 10th, so I plan to hit my maxes the week before that, and then let my strength coach take over until after the season.  I probably won't be posting on here in that period, because I have no clue what the workouts are going to be like, or how the progression is going to go.

Pretty good week in terms of training.  My low back is still feeling bad which in weird because it doesn't bother me when I'm wrestling or pulling sumo.  Decided to throw in more back extensions because I watched a video where a big Russian motherfucker said to do them everyday.  Also can help condition my back for wrestling.  I've been running and wrestling more too which might be cutting into recovery, but I feel fine as of right now.  Really expecting to hit my goal of 405 for 2 or 3 with the way weights are moving.

Offloaded Bulgarian split squats: 2x25x15

Good week of lifting.  Definitely feeling strong despite not eating as much as I have been and school starting this week.  Monday I literally was starving going into the gym and still crushed it.  This Monday I'm hoping to hit 20 reps with the 100s on at least one of the sets.

Thursday was my first time lifting at my school fitness center and the bar and benches are different than what I'm used to at my other gym, but the 255x12 felt like an rpe 7 which I thought was amazing. 

Also front squatted on Friday for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks.  Didn't do as much work as I would have liked that day because my low back felt awkward at the top of the deadlift so kept it short.  The offloaded Bulgarian split squats will hopefully help with balance/my weak glute med.  Definitely noticed it's a lot harder to balance on my right side so hopefully this helps along with the bad girls I'm doing in my lower body warmup.
