February 6, 2015 – Week 12, Day 3

Well, I’m taking a shot. I will be competing at the Kumite Classic on May 23, 2015. My main effort will still be working on my weaknesses but I feel I need a tune-up show at some point.

25 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Shoulders weren’t feeling too hot but the weight was light for deload. No issues with triceps. Not like the weight was moving any slower than usual on overhead, just felt the weight in my shoulder joints more. Similar with benching but I know I was keeping an eye on my right pec because of last week. Nothing happened but got to stay sharp. Tricep work felt like a joke, hopefully reflecting how strong they will be when I test. Just got to hope shoulders get the message too. Some easy pulldowns, a bit of stretching and recovery burritos to end the day.
