time to get serious

fueled by the failure of this morning's 320 attempt, i drew out a plan/schedule to see if i could actually, reasonably make it to 400 by 30. and the verdict is: probably.

changes are in order. up to now i'd been on a 2 week repeating workout, MWF, with squat/bp alternating deadlift/dips. this meant I'd dl 2x in some weeks and 1x in others. now, i reckon i'll change that to W DL and pansy stuff on MF. starting next W i'm DLing 305, adding 5lbs per week, until i get 20lbs over the start, dropping 10lbs, and repeating. 2 sets of 5, and then 1 more set either of 5, or of 3 at +10lbs.

that's the basic gist of it. of course, right in the middle of it all, i'm getting hitched, and doing some flying and all sorts of other stuff, including, probably, lots of climbing and camping. that's probably okay, i have accounted for the forseeables in my schedule, and there might even be enough wiggle room in there for the unforseeables.

as is, my plan puts me at 5x370 the week before i turn 30, which, coincidentally, is a wednesday: the weekly DL day. so i guess on the morning of my 30th, the idea will be to get up and lift 400lbs.

and then lose a bunch of weight so i can float up the rocks without sweating.
