Comments: Maximum suck. That heavy stone series took too much out of me. I couldn’t keep the log in close on the cleans and pretty much was stuck to cheat curling it into position. Arms were sore and ribcage muscles were cramping up a lot. Only got 285lbs the second time because I was super pissed off at my failure. Called it a day early. Very frustrating to see such progress and still not be good enough. Definitely not the “confidence boost” I’m looking for less than two weeks out for the contest. Probably taking off tomorrow. Ugh.
