USPA Powerlifting (Spring 2027)
WT: 100 Kg
Age: 40
Plan: 5/3/1 w. Big Boring and Slow
Diet: High Protein/Fat - Low Carb

Target: 544kg (1200lbs) qual for Nationals (squat - bench - deadlift)

One more month healing the meniscus/cartilage repair then the rehab wheels come off. Every successful lift does something that words can't explain, it's a self-love not found elsewhere.

What's the point of the lived human experience if we aren't challenging ourselves to be better.

I'd be lost without the gym, the place to put all the heavy things of the mind that have no words.

Feels good to be back after two surgeries. I'm thinking when the USPA schedule drops for 2027, I'll be on a VA meet.

Me to a regular: "hey man if I can do 160, five times you think I can hit 205 for 2? I need some wins for my head."

Tired, lack of appetite, lack of motivation. Still felt good, sometimes it's not the numbers on the scale, it's the numbing of the mind for a while.

And that is the feeling we've got to sit with and learn the why.

One (315) was a win for me, two was emotion. The emotion after was the unintended release captured after 8 months of not doing. what I love while hurting inside. ToAnd that is the feeling we've got to sit with and learn.

One day at a time. One moment at a time. Today 315 was staring me down. Should I no, but the head yearned for a win. Something that felt good. I pulled it once, the second time the knee felt it so we listened.

Grateful for the one. Grateful for this modality that's kept me. Grateful for the lessons even those that hurt more than the weight I lift.

"the healing is killing me," it's a beautiful irony isn't it.

Grateful for the people at AmFam Fredericksburg and the trainers/regulars I call friends. Such warm people welcoming me back, they don't know how nice it is to hear you are missed sometimes.

Rehab ahead of schedule, cleared to drive so I went to iron therapy it was necessary after two weeks of sitting in solitude.

Cooking as a therapy.

When we take a step back in some places it gives room for others to breathe life again. Room for perspective when we remove ourselves from the foxholes of our minds.

Old Bay Shrimp, grilled green beans, steaks the only way S&P. Even slapped on my baking hat made some banana, walnut, chocolate chip muffins. High protein probably not, low carb not likely, but good for the soul.
