Right. Look forward to it. More of a matter of when than if now your this close.

Re: Nik
 

[QUOTE=Scott Jenkins;1216759]Right. Look forward to it. More of a matter of when than if now your this close.[/QUOTE]

Exactly, it can be as close as two weeks. but it is really tough going now. If I bump to 400 next week and it is good form , the the week after may be it, but at this weigh, it is hit and miss. Saying that I have not missed it a wile. So I am close.

It will happen(God willing) soon as long as I am safe and take my time and get ''comfortable'' with the reps.

Do you breathe the same way for each rep? I notice that if I don't exhale at quite the right time I'll get a head rush or even pain in my sternum. It's very disconcerting when it happens. :(

Re: Nik
 

Not doing all that great, feeling really stressed and panicky. I hope a workout will burn it off. I don't know whats going on. I felt this way from break.

Re: Nik
 

second fail for the day, knew going into the workout I was distracted so I did not lift, I was afraid of doing something stupid.

So I decided on Cindy, got started and got to round 3 and heard a truck, walked to check and it was not for me. got back and just did not have the heart to start back. I don't know whats up with me!!!

Re: Nik
 

Sounds like you didn't get much sleep last night...go easy on yourself today!

Re: Nik
 

Yep it can get like this, just got to break the cycle mate, pick something your good at and crush it, then move on.

That is what I tried to do with cindy and failed. But It is ok, it happens. Once I hit my squat gloal I will be back on the metcon alot more and just maintain the squat.
