Cool day today. I traveled to Atlanta for a work conference. Found out that one of the places my company would book me to stay ot (nowhere anywhere near downtown ATL) was by Atlanta Barbell. So i trained there, the morning after traveling and not sleeping much, but still. Met Alex the owner. Tried to buy a t-shirt but they didn't have any XLs. I took a selfie in front of their giant wall logo.

No training. Had to drive to central Montana for a family funeral. COuldn't find a crossfit box that did drop-ins, or a fitness gym with a rack.

Coach provided meet numbers. I was disappointed with my DL targets, but given the last month, that was understandable. To be continued.

No chins, no rows. Got called into a meeting with my VP and had to leave early.

In the afternoon, hit the inside-the-office-building gym with cable machines everywhere, and dumbbells and kettle bells.
Dumbbells to 80lb, kettlebells less . I did 80 5x5 because 3x5 wasn’t enough . 15 min on c2 after since I’m already here

[acelticmonk]

Meet numbers included warmups, then openers, then A and B ranges for attempts, depending how I felt after the previous lift. I was very happy with . my results, even if I was DFL for guys over 40. I didn't break my shoulder this year; I went 9 for 9; I beat last year's squat number and press was in the same range, and DL I got to actually do.

Final numbers:
Squat 138kg (top end of my range)
OHP 69kg, ditto
DL 168kg, middle of my A range
