By July, I will need to be 209 pounds or slightly less and as strong as possible. Currently, I am at 230 (at 6'2" and 33 years of age).

Recently, I have lost 24 pounds. That said, my conditioning is horrendous and will need to improve. I am not conditioning to improve health or appearance, my goal is to be in 'peak' condition the first week of July.

Keeping a log on the internet helps me stay on track. For this reason, I will log my lifting here.
 
Week 1 Workout 1

15x1x175 Squat

15x1x135 Bench

15x1x135 Bent Row
 
Welcome back FF. Hope things are going well for you. Good luck with your new goals and I look forward to following your log again.
 
Yeah, all the best with your goals. What exactly do you mean by 'peak' condition? Are you climbing a mountain in July?
 
thanks guys!

'peak' was in quotes. after all, every thing's relative!

I am planning to wrestle a tournament at 195-209 weight class.

I'm getting paid to coach, so I'll be training. Might as well see if I can beat the rest of the geezers.

I inspected fire extinguishers at a soybean processing plant this weekend. Figured all the climbing around would substitute for rows.
 
It's great to see you logging again, FF. Sounds like you and I are paralleling one another.

Good luck getting to where you need to be - having a tourney as inspiration is great!
 
...and vids of you attempting heavy cleans. I still remember that one from a while back with the one dude in the background coming to your rescue.

Keep up the iron abuse, FF. Remanufacture if you will.

and those tire things you made for cleans. Those are cool!
 
thanks much fellas.

for your entertainment:  I failed a clean with 172 today.  Trying to get the bar in position for push press.  Was using a standard bar.  For some reason, I expected the bar to roll when my wrists broke over to rack.  Duh.

I'll start cleaning again after wrestling season.  I am actually having a lot of trouble with recovery right now.

@ electric,  I used the tire thingies for deads today

Starting to feel better about squatting.

I witnessed an experienced senior kid literally crying and calling for mother, in the stands, during a junior varsity consolation final yesterday... That got me to thinking about the innate desire to fight. I need to translate this motivation into increasing strength/work capacity.

My five sons all wrestled (as did I many, many years ago). There is something about the third period of a wrestling match such that the one who wants it the most is the more likely to win.

Of course, at the time, it feels more like: the one who least wants to quit and go home.
 
Well said TR.

My shoulders are pretty sore from benching. They should perk up after OHP'ing tomorrow.
