Shawn's Gonna Get on Dat Platform!!

[ptreyesgreg]

Well woke up after nights with a monster headache and cough, good to know I am just fighting Ebola yesterday and not actually just turning into a complete pussy
Called in sick tonight, think another nightshift would do me in completely.
On a bad note, I am sick I guess but better now than meet week

Sorry to hear about the ebola Shawn.   Definitely better to have it now though than closer to meet time.  Heal up man...

[Dave]

Better now than meet week is exactly right!  You'll be fine.  Buck up Nancy!

Glad it's only a cold Shawn. It sure can make you feel like crap though. A couple beers should fix you up. Gotta stay hydrated.

Notes: feeling quite a bit better today, cancelled training yesterday due to Ebola. Squats were feeling pretty good, 410x3 felt great so figured a 425x3 PR was in the books. Damn that got heavy quick, first rep was a grinder but felt I messed up my form so hit the second, second went real good so had no problem deciding on the third....third rep hit me hard but ground it up for the PR.
Bench went well, 270/280 felt awesome. First rep of 290 was fairly fast but don’t know what dafuq happened on the second....it went every direction but up, before it finally went up still happy with that!
This week is messed up and I have to do day 2 tomorrow. Not expecting much on comp bench and deads after today but it’s the only time to get it in. Last program session will be Friday.

Thanks Greg, skipped training yesterday but made it up today. Feeling much better

Haha thanks for the love Davey

Ya me too, much better today. Had a good roast in the sauna yesterday and a good nights sleep. Don’t drink anymore, but back in the day.....

Man those are some killer lifts! That 290 bench was something to watch though Got the rep and that's all that counts. Way to hang on to it.

Notes: well that was a slacker session. Pretty beat up from yesterday so was trying not to push it too hard to avoid an injury before the meet. My warmup set of deads started to feel worse rather than better so called it at 455. Unfortunately we had to train today not tomorrow as I am going out of town tomorrow until Thursday evening. Will crush it on my last day Friday.

Nice and strong training session Shawn. I swear everytime I see your squat vids on IG I feel you're going to tip over but you make that shit look strong lol.

Congrats on the wrapped squat PR.

Lol thanks Rich, I had a good laugh after that rep, it just wanted to go in every direction but up

Nice and strong training session Shawn. I swear everytime I see your squat vids on IG I feel you're going to tip over but you make that shit look strong lol.

Congrats on the wrapped squat PR.

Thanks Anthony, lol ya I’m not the most aesthetically pleasing squatter out there. I have horrible mechanics for squats but you have to work with what you got. My highbar looks better...but it’s weak as fuk

[ptreyesgreg]

Strong looking session there Shawn.   Your slacker session looks pretty damn good to me.  Nice job hitting 3 at 270 on the bench and 455 on the deads.  A few days of rest will do you good and I'm sure you'll have a killer session on Friday.

[reduni]

I wish my good sessions looked like your slacker ones. Nice work. It sucks when you have to cram stuff in because of life, but it happens. Rest up and come back strong.

Notes: well that’s a wrap on meet prep. Good finish plan was to double my opener and double my second attempt....
Check
2ct bench went decent and didn’t put much effort into Pendlays.

Monday I will do openers in singlet with commands

Thanks Greg, ya I went into that session knowing it wasn’t going to be very good, l also wasn’t interested in pushing too hard as getting injured would have been real possible. All good, good finish today and looking forward to some more days off.

I wish my good sessions looked like your slacker ones. Nice work. It sucks when you have to cram stuff in because of life, but it happens. Rest up and come back strong. 

Thanks Rich, ya life is gonna life. We went to Toronto Wednesday night for my 6 year old to have eye surgery at sick kids Thursday morning so it was a busy couple days. His surgery went great and now the hard part of trying to keep him calm and relatively still 

[ptreyesgreg]

Great looking workout yesterday Shawn. Way to end it on a high note.  It looks you're all set up to kill it at your meet!  I'm looking forward to seeing the results...and some new PRs.

[Andrew]

very strong meet prep Shawn. Go kill it!
