-Weighed myself sat night on a friends wii, 83.5kg with full clothing after a decent dinner, I'm probably under 82 in the morning, naked... If i somehow get below 78 at any time, I'll then make the cut to 75kg class, steal a few jr records...

Comments:
-Came into the gym feeling weak and tired
-Managed to switch on, and have a good session once i started my sets of deadlifting, managed to get them really fast
-I just realised why DB rows seem a bit harder thic cycle -- I'm now doing them after deadlifts and cable rows haha, so my back and grip is shot before i get to them, I now remember I did this on purpose, as my gyms DB's are too light
-Grip was giving out on the second sets of DB rows
-I'm hoping i manage to borrow some cash to get me to the nationals, its just pending on the money now, i think ill need to borrow 500-600!

Comments:
-Shit session today, 115kg was the worst missgroove I've ever had on a raw bench, presed it straight towards my stromach, and had to slowly pull it back lol
-Pissed that i couldn't get 4x6 with 100kg
-Been pretty tired lately, 3 hour nap yesterday, 2 hour nap today - just collapsed when i got home last 2 days, that's probably it. I think I'll keep the same numbers next time, and make sure i get all the reps
So I had another drug test, less than 3 weeks from my last one. Got urine and blood taken this time, first time I have had blood drawn in my 19 years actually! It wasn't terrible, just slightly unpleasant, but I don't think I'd like a full 470mL blood donation done!
Anyway, 2 tests in 3 weeks, I think I've just cost the government like $1500 or so

$100 Entry free
$200 airfare, if im lucky
$350 hotel, this is the big one
$100 food/misc
my last contest i traveled to the hotel was $49.. it was pretty shitty though.
to far to drive? ive made it from where i live to vancouver and lived for a week on $25 plus gas.. you can do it
I hope the hotel throws in a masseuse and a happy ending for that price.

I've made some huge mistakes, but they were necessary, because without them I wouldn't have learned anything.

-I think 210kg is the most I've done raw lol. I'll do 220kg next week before I get a suit on
-175kg was pretty damn fast, I think speed will start to slow more next week with 182.5kg
-The wider NG handle was shit, biceptacular workout haha, I'll go back to the regular NG handle
Finally some real weights.
I can read your log now without feeling like I've suddenly lost strength.
I thought you pulled almost 500 raw.
